Kings at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 119, Raptors 115

Moneyline

The Kings (-375) will cost you nearly 4 times your potential return, and that’s way too expensive for backing a road team straight up.

While the Raptors (+300) have struggled to win games straight up, they have played very hard, and have lost the past 3 games by a combined 13 points, a margin of just 4.3 points per game (PPG).

PASS.

Against the spread

Back the RAPTORS +8.5 (-110) catching more than 4 buckets. While Toronto has dropped 4 games in a row, it has covered 5 straight outings.

The Kings -8.5 (-110) have won 3 in a row, and they’re 2-0-1 ATS in the span. However, while it won in Utah and covered playing on no rest this past Tuesday, it’s a tough turnaround against a Toronto team playing hard to the end.

Over/Under

OVER 233.5 (-110) is the lean, but only play a half-unit wager at most.

The Over cashed for the Kings in Atlanta Friday, and the Over is 2-1 in 3 road games to date.

For the Raptors, the total has gone high in each of the past 3 games, while going 5-1 in 6 games this season. At home, the Over is a perfect 4-0 for Toronto.
