Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Clippers Expert Picks
Sacramento Kings ATS -3 (-110), Moneyline (-158)
Perhaps it's as simple as projecting a Kings victory simply because both Domantas Sabonis (back) and DeMar DeRozan (back) will be returning to the lineup, and with the Clippers still missing their leading scorer in Norman Powell due to an injured hamstring, at least offensively, it may be difficult for Los Angeles to keep up on the scoreboard.
The Clippers, though, have successfully covered the spread more often than not with a 10-6 record ATS, with three-straight covers at home including five of their last six. They're also 3-2 ATS when underdogs at home, as well.
Sacramento fell back on Nov. 8 at the Golden 1 Center to Los Angeles, 107-98, so there's a sense of pride which comes from looking to redeem that performance and return the favor. A three-point spread is tight enough to lean either that way or just hit the moneyline outright, and even with sixth man Malik Monk ruled out, the Kings just have too much at their disposal for the league's 24th-ranked offense to strike fear in them.
OVER 221 Points (-110)
This entire market has been disastrous for me lately, but even knowing the Clippers have just five OVERs in 16 games with a push sprinkled in, Sacramento's offensive options are enough to make me somewhat confident in an OVER to justify a bet.
Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Clippers Player Prop
Domantas Sabonis OVER 35.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-122)
With Sabonis taking part in a pair of full practices, it's difficult to imagine head coach Mike Brown placing him on some sort of a minutes restriction in his first taste of action in a week.
Oddsmakers have the All-Star forward's points + rebounds + assists line at 35.5, and Sabonis has nailed the OVER in his last three meetings with the Clippers. He's also gone OVER in 10 of his 13 games in 2024-25, as well, which explains why the value at -122 isn't overtly appealing, yet it still feels safe considering Sabonis' history.
