Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
The Sacramento Kings have been absolutely ice-cold, as they’ve lost 22 of their last 26 games overall, and they are now riding a 15-game losing streak after getting smashed by the Magic in a 131-94 loss on Thursday. Maxime Raynaud led the team with 17 points, 14 rebounds, and four assists; Keegan Murray added 15 points with eight rebounds, while Precious Achiuwa chipped in with 14 points, 10 rebounds, four steals, and two blocks. As a team, the Kings shot just 41 percent from the field and eight of 27 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start and shot out to an early 12-point lead, but that was short-lived as they looked completely outmatched in the second quarter, where they allowed 46 points. The Kings weren’t even able to score some consolation points in garbage time, as they got outscored by 28-10 in the fourth quarter to finish with one of their worst defeats of the season.
San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in great form, as they’ve won 12 of their last 15 games overall, and they will be eager to build on their current seven-game win streak after blowing past the Suns in a 121-94 win on Thursday. Stephon Castle led the team with 20 points on eight of 11 shooting, Dylan Harper added 17 points off the bench, Victor Wembanyama tallied 17 points with 11 rebounds and five blocks, and De’Aaron Fox chipped in with 15 points and eight assists. As a team, the Spurs shot 52 percent from the field and 13 of 37 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Suns from the tipoff to take the early lead, but they didn’t gain full control until the third quarter, where they outscored the Suns by 37-22 to lead by as many as 32 points at one stage.

Spurs vs Kings Prediction
The Kings are still shorthanded with Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, and De’Andre Hunter all out, while the Spurs have ruled out Mason Plumlee with Lindy Waters III listed as questionable. The Kings are the coldest team in the league right now, and you might think it’s because of their injuries, but to be fair, they were struggling all season and are now up against a red-hot Spurs team who are coming into this one fresh off another blowout win. These teams have already met once this season, with the Spurs winning by 123-110 back on Nov 16, but I am expecting a much more one-sided affair in this meeting. It’s hard to imagine anything but an easy win for the Spurs here, but I can see the Kings finishing with a flurry of points to get a backdoor cover with this hefty spread.
