Miami Heat vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Sacramento Kings have the better offense and that makes them attractive as an underdog, but they also haven’t played much defense, and it’s led to questionable results. The Miami Heat have quietly won three of their last four games, and they’re as healthy as they’ve been all year. Kevin Love and Duncan Robinson are expected to be active. At home, I’ll lay the bucket with the Heat.
