The Sacramento Kings have been far from road warriors this season but will be looking to turn things around Sunday when they travel north of the border for a matchup with the Toronto Raptors. The Kings have dropped nine out of their 11 contests away from home on the year, but are a much better 8-7 SU at home.
- The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the Raptors and Kings.
- The OVER is 5-2 in the last 7 games between the Raptors and Kings.
- The Raptors are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win.
Both squads feature centers that are riding hot streaks heading into the tilt.
