The Cleveland Cavaliers-Sacramento Kings series isn’t a premiere NBA matchup, however, totals bettors have been getting rewarded when the two sides collide. In the last eight meetings between the squads, the UNDER is a solid 6-2. They’ll renew acquaintances Monday in Ohio.
- The total has gone OVER in the Cavaliers' last four games after a win.
- The Kings are 5-1 SU in their last six games against the Central Division.
- The favored team is 4-11 ATS in its last 15 games in this matchup.
The Kings are a team in turmoil right now, which is nothing new for the downtrodden franchise. Sacramento has lost seven of its last eight, a skid that's effectively caused the seat under head coach George Karl to heat up. DeMarcus Cousins and company have allowed an awful 128 points in each of its last two setbacks.
Cleveland is still struggling to adjust to newly appointed bench boss Tyronne Lue’s system and are clearly experiencing some growing pains, but it’s important for the wine and gold to get that out of the way well ahead of the playoffs. The wine and gold may be a rocky play over the course of the next month or so, so bettors should approach this volatile team with caution.
