I’m still not to the point where I want to lay decent sized numbers with the Sacramento Kings, but the San Antonio Spurs are falling apart before our eyes. The Spurs are losing by an average of 7.5 points on the season, 8.6 points on the road and 6.8 points in their last five games. The Kings are playing good ball for the most part, and their offense has caught fire. Against these Spurs, this could get ugly. It’s the chalk or pass for me.
