De’Aaron Fox is averaging 23.7 points and 3.4 rebounds while Buddy Hield is averaging 16.8 points and 3.3 assists.

The Sacramento Kings are shooting 36 percent from beyond the arc and 72.6 percent from the free throw line. The Sacramento Kings are allowing 39.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 42.6 rebounds per game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers need a win after losing five of their last seven games. The Cleveland Cavaliers are averaging 103.8 points on 45.1 percent shooting and allowing 111.9 points on 48 percent shooting. Collin Sexton is averaging 23.9 points and 2.7 rebounds while Darius Garland is averaging 16.5 points and 5.9 assists.

The Kings are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest and 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games overall. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Kings last 6 overall. The under is 5-2 in Cavaliers last 7 Monday games. The Kings are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Cleveland and 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
I’m not trying to back either of these teams if we’re being honest, but I’m certainly not laying chalk with the Kings on the road. The Sacramento Kings are losing their last five games by an average of 6.4 points and still aren’t playing a lick of defense. The Kings lose on the road by an average of 5.4 points. The Kings are 5-8 against the spread this season as a favorite. Yes, the Cavaliers have their struggles as well, but they did beat the Raptors yesterday, which could be a needed shot in the arm. It’s Cavs or pass for me.
