San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have been in a rut as they’ve lost five of their last seven games overall, but they will be looking to build some momentum after blowing past the Nets in a 127-113 home win on Tuesday. Devin Vassell led the team with 37 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, and four steals, Stephon Castle added 17 points with six assists off the bench while De’Aaron Fox chipped in with 15 points and seven assists. As a team, the Spurs shot 54 percent from the field and 18 of 39 from the 3-point line as they caught fire early thanks to a hot start from Vassell and they just piled on the points until their lead ballooned to 25 points. The Spurs will face the Timberwolves following this one.
Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have been in pretty good form as they’ve won seven of their last 10 games overall. But they will be looking to bounce back here after having their four-game win streak halted by the Nuggets in a 116-110 road defeat on Wednesday. DeMar DeRozan led the team with 35 points, six rebounds, and five assists on 14 of 32 shooting. Zach LaVine added 20 points with six assists, Jonas Valanciunas scored 19 points with 13 rebounds and six assists while Jake LaRavia chipped in with 15 points off the bench. As a team, the Kings shot 45 percent from the field and 11 of 27 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 42 points in the first quarter to take the early 14-point lead. But they never put away the Nuggets and it cost them in the fourth quarter where they scored just 17 points to give the game away.

Kings vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are still shorthanded with Victor Wembenyama and Charles Bassey both out, while the Kings are still playing without Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk. The Spurs are coming into this fresh off a nice win over the Nets, but they were really struggling before that game. The Kings had reeled off four straight wins before coming up short against the Nuggets in a game they probably should’ve won after leading for most of the contest. The Spurs are capable of the upset, but the Kings have been the team in better form. They still have plenty of depth with DeRozan and LaVine running the show and I think the Kings get it done at the modest line at home.
