Kings at Jazz picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 121, Jazz 112
Moneyline
The Kings have beaten the Jazz 4 straight times and in 6 of their last 7 meetings.
Both of Sacramento’s losses this season were tight games, losing by a combined 6 points to 2 expected playoff teams in the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Jazz will win at home at some point, but it probably won’t be Tuesday night. But betting the Kings at -250 is not a wager.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Kings have yet to cover the spread in 3 games this season. The Jazz are 2-1 ATS.
The Kings average 117.7 points per game (PPG) so far, so scoring is not a problem, and that should be made easier by the Jazz allowing 121.0 PPG.
Two of Utah’s 3 losses have been by 8 or more points. Their last 4 losses to the Kings have been by 8 or more points.
BET KINGS -5.5 (-115).
Over/Under
Both teams have only 1 game so far this season with a total higher than 235.
The Kings have scored in the 120s in their last 4 meetings with the Jazz, but the total has surpassed 235 pointsonly once.
BET UNDER 234.5 (-115).
