Cavaliers Spotlight

The Cleveland Cavaliers continue their west-coast trip after getting blown out by the Golden State Warriors last night. Offensively on the road, the Cavaliers rank 17th in points per game, 9th in field goal percentage, and 11th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road, the Cavaliers rank 1st in points allowed, 6th in field goal percentage, 7th in 3-point shooting, and 9th in rebounding. 

Kings Spotlight

The Sacramento Kings are coming off an embarrassing loss to the lowly Portland Trailblazers and look to rebound after dropping four straight. Offensively at home, the Kings rank 21st in points per game, 18th in field goal percentage, and 17th in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, the Kings rank 25th in points allowed, 24th in field goal percentage, 22nd in 3-point shooting, and 16th in rebounding. 

Final Say

The Kings haven’t been too profitable lately going 1-5 ATS in their last six games, but the Cavaliers haven’t been in good form either going 2-5 SU and 1-6 ATS in their last seven games. They also haven’t had much luck in Sacramento where they are just 2-6 SU in their last eight tries. The Kings have also gone 6-2 ATS and 5-1 SU in their last six versus the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are also a putrid 2-18 SU in their last 20 games versus a Pacific Division opponent. I don’t expect the Cavaliers to be carrying too much momentum into tonight’s game, while the Kings are going to be eager to snap a four-game skid. Take the free points and back the home team.

Pick: Sacramento Kings +5
