Randy’s Pick

The Kings haven’t won a preseason game this season and this should be a tough one for them considering they played last night. A rare back to back spot in preseason action for the Kings. Also, the Kings emptied the clip last night with Fox playing 32 minutes, Sabonis playing 34 minutes, Harrison Barnes getting 33 minutes, etc. Don’t expect the Kings to play any rotation player in this spot on the end of a back to back. Near pick em spot, give me the Utah Jazz and the free point.
