NBA Basketball Betting – Memphis at Sacramento
Our Sportsbooks: The Sacramento Kings (13-20 SU, 19-13 ATS), still limping along with injury problems, play host to the defensively-challenged Memphis Grizzlies (10-24 SU, 16-18 ATS) in Thursday night NBA action scheduled for 10 PM ET tipoff at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento.
In the Top Sportsbooks NBA basketball betting odds, the Kings are listed at -4.5, with the total posted at 203.5 points.
In the HEAD-to-HEAD NBA betting trends:
* SAC has won three of the last four meetings SU
* MEM is 5-4-1 ATS in the last ten meetings
* Three of the last four meetings have gone OVER the total
* MEM has had the shooting edge in four of the last five meetings
* SAC has made more three-pointers in each of the last three meetings
* The home team is 4-2-1 ATS in the last seven meetings
Memphis has surrendered 104.4 points per game, which is second from the bottom in the NBA. The Grizzlies also allow opponents to shoot 47% field goals, which is 28th in the league. Memphis shoots a lot from the outside, and has sunk 7.8 three-pointers per contest. Also,
* MEM has won two of its last nine games SU
* MEM has covered three of its last four games
* MEM has covered five of its last 15 games
* MEM has won two of its last nine road games SU
Sacramento is shooting 45.2% from the field. The Kings have turned it over 15.9 times per game. And they rank 29th in the league with 39.4 rebounds per game. Sacramento is still playing without Ron Artest, Mike Bibby and Kevin Martin. Also:
* SAC has won two of its last eight games SU
* SAC has covered its last four games
* SAC has lost four of its last five home games SU
* SAC has covered one of its last six home games
* SAC has played five of its last eight games UNDER the total
* SAC has played 10 of its last 16 games UNDER the total
Memphis, which had been overly dependent upon Pau Gasol for its scoring in recent seasons, now can spread the offense around a little more with second-year man Rudy Gay (19.2 ppg) emerging as a “go-to” guy (both joining Mike Miller, a steady 16.2 ppg). But this has been too permissive a team all season long (47% FG allowed), and right now they’re catching a Kings team that has turned in efforts of 50% against Orlando and 55% against Cleveland in the last week.
Reggie Theus is not going to get many coach of the year votes, because his team is not likely to make it to the playoffs. But he’s done quite a job keeping this club afloat, using a lot of no-name players like Beno Udrih, Francisco Garcia and Quincy Douby, not to mention the real find, John Salmons (22.2 ppg in last six), who hit 21 points in the home win against the Magic on Tuesday. That victory, no small feat against an Orlando team that was 16-4 on the road, along with the win at Madison Square Garden and narrow losses at Chicago and Cleveland, indicate the Kings are not playing badly at all.
So this number is manageable. We’ll lay the points with Sacramento, the 4.5-point favorite in the Top Sportsbooks NBA betting odds.
