Sacramento Kings vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers should be favored at home given the way they’ve played over the last month, and they’re getting healthier. However, the Sacramento Kings are still the healthier team, and they’ve turned things up over the last couple of weeks with wins in 6 of their last 7 tries. The Cavs could be without Jarrett Allen due to an ankle injury. The Kings beat the Cavs by 12 points back in November and have won 8 of the last 10 meetings against them overall. The value is with the Kings and the free buckets in a game they could win outright. Give me the points.
