The Indiana Pacers will travel to the Golden 1 Center to take on the Sacramento Kings tonight and I’m loving the Kings as slight home favorites tonight!
Indiana comes into this game with just a 3-7 overall record and it’s largely due to a defense that has really struggled as they are allowing opponents to currently average 111.4 ppg. The Pacers have really struggled on the road this season, posting an 0-5 record, and at best, will have a less than 100% Malcolm Brogdon who missed the Pacers last game with an illness and is currently questionable for this matchup.
Sacramento has won 4 of their last 5 games and are coming off two impressive home wins against Charlotte & New Orleans in which they won those games by a combined 43 points. Sacramento ranks 2nd in the NBA in scoring offense at 113.2 ppg and have shot the ball well, ranking 8th in FG%.
The Kings are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
This should be a high scoring game, however, I just think Sacramento has too much offensive fire power for Indiana to keep up with and as I think the Kings will pull away late in this one, I think they have no trouble covering this small spread. Good Luck!
