The Cavaliers are entering this game with a 56-11 record overall this season and they are 26-6 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Orlando Magic, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Los Angeles Clippers still to be played on Tuesday night. In their game against the Magic, Donovan Mitchell led the team in points in that game with 23 while Jarrett Allen was next on the team with 20 points. Max Strus and Donovan Mitchell each led the team in assists in that game with 5 while Jarrett Allen led the team in rebounds with 12. They were 41.7% from the field, 25% from 3-point range, and 65% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 122.5 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 111.6 PPG against them. The Cavaliers have an ATS record of 42-24-1 this season and their O/U record is 42-25.

The Kings are entering this game with a 34-33 record overall this season and they are 17-15 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a win against the Memphis Grizzlies. Malik Monk led the team in points in that game with 28 while Zach LaVine was next on the team with 23 points. DeMar DeRozan led the team in assists in that game with 9 while Keegan Murray led the team in rebounds with 10. They were 52.3% from the field, 48.8% from 3-point range, and 66.7% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 116.5 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 115.6 PPG against them. The Kings have an ATS record of 27-36-4 this season and their O/U record is 36-29-2.

The current betting odds have the Kings listed as a 5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Kings have looked good in their games this season with their 34-33 record overall, but that record has them in the bottom half of the West and in a play-in spot. They have looked better on their home court this year with their 17-15 home record too. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers have looked great in their games this season with their 56-11 record overall which has them right at the top of the East with the best record in the entire NBA. They have also been a great road team this year with their 26-6 road record. The Cavaliers have been rolling lately as they are 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are coming off a loss to the Magic in their last one. They will be looking to bounce back, but this is also a tough situation for them since they are on the road out West and will be playing this game on a back-to-back. They also have a game against the Clippers on Tuesday night and that isn't going to be an easy game for them with the way the Clippers have looked at home lately. The Kings are only 5-5 in their last 10 games and haven't looked great lately, but they are coming off a big home win over the Grizzlies in their last one and they have played their best on their home court this year. The Cavaliers have been the best team all season, but they have also clinched a playoff spot already so they do not need to keep going 100% in every game. This is a tough game for them on the road on a back-to-back and the Kings have the talent to put up a good fight here and take advantage of some of that fatigue. The best way to place a bet here is on the Kings to cover the spread in this game.
