Nets vs Kings Prediction
Another game where if you’re getting involved, you have a problem. Neither the Kings or Nets are trying to win at this point and have injury reports longer than Diddy’s baby oil receipt. Usually in this spot I’d want the points if forced to pick. However, the Nets are at home and have the rest advantage. Trying to back a bad injured team that played yesterday isn’t ideal. If the Nets are going to win a game the rest of the season this would be it. It’s Nets or pass. Yeah, you should probably pass.
