The Bulls have been up-and-down lately, but to be just -3.5 favorites against the struggling Sacramento Kings seems disrespectful – even on the road.
Chicago has gotten back on track a bit with wins over Detroit and Cleveland the last two times out. The Kings meanwhile have dropped four straight, and their defense has allowed 130+ in two of the last three.
Chicago Bulls
Chicago was down a bit after a recent five game losing streak, but they have rediscovered the way to win in a 114-108 victory at Detroit and taking down Cleveland 101-91 Saturday at the United Center.
The Bulls got Alex Caruso back on Saturday for the first time since January 21st, and he had a nice outing with 11 points and 4 assists in 29 minutes. Caruso brings a noticeable energy to this Chicago team as they also wait for Lonzo Ball to return at the end of the month.
While Caruso is back, the Bulls could be without Zach LaVine on Monday night as he continues to try and manage his lingering knee soreness. LaVine has 20+ in all six games he’s played since the all-star break.
Chicago has the talent to cover vs. Sacramento even if LaVine can’t go. DeMar DeRozan’s MVP consideration has cooled off, but he still had 25 vs. the Cavs while Nikola Vucevic added 20 and 14 rebounds. Coby White is also a Kings Killer, going for 30+ in two of his last three vs. Sacramento.
Sacramento Kings
Is the De’Aaron Fox show enough to push the Kings past Chicago on Monday night and snap Sacramento’s 4-game losing streak? The point guard is doing his part with 41 points and 11 assists in Saturday’s loss to the Jazz as well as 32/10 in a loss to Denver and 44 in a loss to Dallas over the last 10 days.
The Kings should get a boost with the return of Domantas Sabonis on Monday night, as he was suspended for last Wednesday’s game with Denver and did not make the trip to Utah. Sabonis has 8 straight double-doubles when he plays.
It really is do or die time for Sacramento, who may have already been toe-tagged as they sit 4.5 out of the final play-in spot with 4 teams to jump and 13 games to do it in. Losing 9 of the last 11 isn’t exactly surging down the stretch.

- Bulls are 0-4 ATS last 4 road games
- UNDER is 4-0 in Bulls last 4 overall

Free Chicago Bulls vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
The line seems to be saying that the Kings get this one. Chicago is in 4th place in the East and just three games out of first, as well as winners of two in a row so you’d think they’d be giving at least 5-6 points in this one?
Why is Sacramento getting just +3.5 even as losers of 9 of their last 11? They have an 18-point loss to the Nuggets and a 16 point loss to the Knicks over their last three home games as well. Nearly 75% of public bets are on Chicago, making the trap complete.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Kings +3.5
Maybe Sabonis’ return lights a spark in the Kings? Fox has been playing well too and LaVine’s possible absence definitely helps Sacramento’s chances to at least cover the number.
