Kings vs Clippers Prediction & Pick

Several things went wrong in the Clippers' loss to the Jazz. While LA shot 49.4% from the field and 35.1% from the three-point line, it only finished with a 30.8% free-throw percentage, which will lose games more often than not. By comparison, the Kings shot 72.7% on their free throws.

Additionally, the Clippers never held the lead again after the first four minutes of the game. Although the Kings went back and forth with the Hawks, the former at least led frequently throughout the contest. Nevertheless, Sacramento's unimpressive .394/.267/.727 shooting splits do raise some concerns.

In what will likely be another back-and-forth game, I see the Clippers emerging victorious. They shot the ball well against the Jazz (aside from their free throws) and have the rebounding to take advantage of the Kings' mistakes.

It won't be pretty, but I see LA getting the job done tonight.

Final Score Prediction: Clippers: 87 | Kings: 84

Kings vs Clippers Best Bet

With the spread being as close as it is, I don't have a problem taking the Clippers outright on the moneyline as the best bet. Again, they did shoot the ball well in their latest loss and even looked good rebounding. If they can find more success from the charity stripe, upsetting the mistake-prone Kings is a realistic goal.

Bet: Clippers ML (+106)
