In the HEAD-to-HEAD NBA betting trends:

SU

SU as the home team

Seattle has been able to accumulate the
second-most rebounds in the NBA (44.9 per

team, and have held opponents below 100 points
only 19 times. Also:

Sacramento
is averaging 100.4 points a game for the
season. The Kings have played 13 "overs" in
23 home games, and steal the ball eight times
a game. Also:
* SAC has covered two of its last six games
* SAC has won four of its last five games
SU
* SAC has won its last five home games SU
* SAC has covered four of its last five
home games
* SAC has played eight of its last nine
home games OVER the total
Sacramento is still a ways off from contending
for the eighth and final playoff spot, but
the Kings are giving it a good shot, with
seven wins in their last nine games and sitting
just two games below the .500 mark. Coach
Reggie Theus, who led New Mexico State to
tremendous success, deserves to be commended.
The Kings appear to be perfectly happy in
running with the ball, as they've averaged
over 107 ppg over their last five. Since
the youthful Sonics are not a team known
for stopping opponents (they let the BULLS
shoot 46% and score 118 last night), we think
Sacramento can operate relatively unimpeded.
We worry about laying this many with the
Kings, because they haven't been proficient
at these numbers (just 3-5 ATS laying 9.5
or more). But they're trending toward the
higher-scoring games (eight of last nine
home games over the total), and we don't
mind going that way either.
We'll go "over" the
211 points, as it is posted in the BetUS
NBA basketball betting odds.
