Kings at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 112, Suns 109
Moneyline
The Suns have just found ways to win almost every game. But the loss of Durant will make a mark in this game. The Suns have enough offensive firepower to weather his loss, as G Bradley Beal and G Devin Booker are great, but they are due for a loss.
The Kings (-115) are 3-2 on the road, while Phoenix is 5-0 at home. The Kings won once in Phoenix last season.
But you get better odds with the spread pick, especially with only a 1.5-point spread.
PASS.
Against the spread
Take advantage of the plus odds on the Kings to win by at least 2 points. The Suns have been in tight games in every contest, but their 1 loss was by 3 points.
Four of the Kings’ 5 wins have been by at least 8 points, although they did have a 1-point win over Miami.
But the plus odds are too good to pass up.
BET KINGS -1.5 (+105).
Over/Under
Three of the 5 meetings last season did not surpass 225 points, but 2 had 255 and 237.
Five of the Kings’ 9 Games have surpassed the projection for this Game.
Three of the last 4 games for the Suns have not reached 228 total points.
BET UNDER 227.5 (-115).
