Toronto Raptors vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Toronto Raptors do have the edge at home and not having to travel with both sides on the end of a back-to-back. The problem is the Kings are simply the better team no matter how you slice it and the Raptors remain banged up. With so many rotation players out and on the end of a back-to-back, these are spots undermanned teams usually feel it the most. Tough travel spot for the Kings, but we’re not being asked to lay much. Give me the Kings and the reasonable number.
