The Sacramento Kings have won eight of their last 10 games, but they are coming off a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks entering Wednesday’s game against the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls are the No. 11 seed in the East, falling out of the No. 10 spot with Washington’s win on Tuesday night.
This season has been a disappointment for Chicago, but it can still make the play-in with a strong close to the year. The Kings are looking to stop that, and to move back into the No. 2 seed in the West by picking up a win.
Here’s a look at the latest odds and a pick for this game:
Kings vs. Bulls odds, spread and total
Kings vs. Bulls prediction and pick
There are a few trends that are in Sacramento’s favor in this game, starting with the team’s record as a road favorite.
The Kings are 10-5 ATS as road favorites this season, good for the third best record in the NBA.
Meanwhile, the Bulls are in the bottom half of the league as home underdogs, going just 6-7-1 ATS this season.
The main advantage the Kings have here is on the offensive end, as the team ranks No. 1 in the league in offensive rating and No. 9 in pace. That leads to Sacramento putting up a ton of points in a hurry.
The Bulls, on the other hand, are an outdated offense. They shoot the fewest number of 3-point shots in the NBA, and rank just 24th in the league in offensive rating.
That’s going to make it tough to hang in this game, and the Kings kept things close with a superior Bucks team in their last game.
I love Sacramento at essentially a pick’em to win this game.
