The Portland Trail Blazers pay a visit to the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Kings vs Trail Blazers Prediction. This article will include a Kings vs Trail Blazers Pick.

Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview

The Portland Trail Blazers look to have cooled off from their four-game win streak as they are now looking to avoid a third straight defeat after getting routed by the Cavaliers in a 122-111 home defeat on Tuesday. Donovan Clingan, Shaedon Sharpe, and Scoot Henderson scored 18 points each, while Deni Avdija chipped in with 17 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot just 40 percent from the field and 17 of 52 from the 3-point line as they battled hard to stay within single digits until the fourth quarter, where the Cavaliers finally pulled away. Dalano Banton shot just one of six from the field for his three points, while Anfernee Simons shot just two of 12 for his seven points. The Trail Blazers will face the Knicks and Hawks following this one.

Sacramento Kings Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have been in a rut as they’ve lost eight of their last 10 games overall. They will be hoping to snap a four-game losing streak after getting routed by the Thunder in a 121-105 home defeat on Tuesday. Keegan Murray drained nine 3-pointers to lead the team with 28 points, Zach LaVine added 19 points with seven assists and Keon Ellis chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Kings shot just 40 percent from the field and an efficient 23 of 47 from the 3-point line as they struggled for most of the contest and fell behind by as many as 25 points. This is a shame because the Kings caught fire to cut the deficit to just six points before they ran out of time.

Why the Sacramento Kings will win

  • The Trail Blazers have lost 23 of their last 24 road games against Pacific Division opponents.
  • The Kings have won 15 of their last 16 home games against Northwest Division opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Kings have covered the spread in each of their last four games as favorites against Western Conference opponents.
  • The Trail Blazers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six Thursday games against teams that held a losing record.

Why the Portland Trail Blazers will win

  • The Trail Blazers have won each of their last nine games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Kings have lost seven of their last eight games as favorites following a home loss.
  • The Kings have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 18 Thursday games.
  • The Trail Blazers have covered the spread in seven of their last eight road games against teams that held a losing record.

Total Points Facts

  • Seven of the Kings’ last eight home games following a home loss have gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Five of the Trail Blazers’ last six games as road underdogs have gone OVER the total points line.

Kings vs Trail Blazers Prediction

The Trail Blazers are still missing Deandre Ayton and Jerami Grant, with Tounami Camara listed as questionable, while the Kings are keeping eyes on Devin Carter, Malik Monk, and Jake LaRavia, who are all questionable. These teams have already met three times this season, with the Trail Blazers leading the series by 2-1, but the home team won all three games. It’s hard to split these two teams at the moment, with both teams dealing with a list of injuries, but I think the Trail Blazers have been the slightly better team over the past week. I think they can at least get the cover in a game they could win outright.
