Kings vs Spurs NBA Preview
One thing I've noticed with the Kings, as bad as they are right now coming off 15 straight losses, at least the mindset of their head coach appears to be steady and positive.
When you listen to Doug Christie in a postgame press conference, the only thing he actually cares about is which members of this Kings' team are willing to play hard.
He is very focused on the Kings' effort right now, and that can often be translated into pace.
Meanwhile, the Spurs' offense is blistering hot right now and firing on all cylinders. They are running, spacing, and playing fast as well.
So, I think this is a clear Over spot.
Kings vs Spurs Predictions, Betting Analysis
We might see the total close 1.5 points higher than the current line of over/under 227.5 points.
My model projects this total at 229, and market ratings for totals would even put it higher.
I don't always trust market ratings for totals, but I model this at 229, and the Over seems like the right play here.
Pick: Over 227.5 (-110, FanDuel)
