Trail Blazers at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 113, Trail Blazers 102
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Kings (-1600), who are 23-17 at home, to beat the Trail Blazers, who are 10-30 on the road.
Against the spread
LEAN TRAIL BLAZERS +16.5 (-110).
Portland has covered the spread in 5 of its last 7 Games and is 3-0-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 4 Games while playing as a double-digit underdog. The Kings have struggled recently, losing 5 of their last 6 while failing to cover 2 of their last 3. With such a high line, the Trail Blazers should be the easy selection.
Over/Under
BET OVER 212.5 (-115).
Portland has scored 100 or more points in 4 of its last 5 and 5 of its last 7. It has allowed 110 or more in 3 of its last 4 and 6 of its last 10. The Kings have scored 107 or more in 3 of their last 4 and 6 of their last 8. While both teams have struggled to put up big offensive numbers recently, at a line of just 212.5, the Over is the play.
