Free Portland Trail Blazers vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
Portland’s last 10 games have averaged 236.8 points, while the Kings’ games have averaged a combined 236.1 points. As you see, both of those are below the over/under total for this contest, and it’s why I’m betting the under.
But Who Takes the Spread?
With the Trail Blazers at +5.5, they feel like the pick here. Additionally, they feel like a fun wild-card for an underdog moneyline victory with basketball back Thursday night.
Players on Portland’s roster such as Jusuf Nurkic are still injured after the All-Star break, but Damian Lillard will be the best player on the court, and when it comes to Dame D.O.L.L.A., that means something.
All in all, this one should be close, but don’t be shocked if the road team sneaks away with the win.
