Clippers vs Kings Prediction
The current betting odds have the Clippers listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Clippers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 23-27 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West. They haven't been a great road team either with their 10-16 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Kings have looked terrible in their games this season with their 12-40 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the West with one of the worst records in the entire NBA. They have looked terrible on their home court too with their 9-17 home record this season. The Kings have been a disaster all season and they don't look like a team that is going anywhere this season. They are at the bottom of the West and they have been in a huge slump lately with 10 losses in a row now. The Clippers have also fallen into a bit of a slump lately with 2 losses in a row now, but both of those losses were against solid opponents. They are still 6-4 in their last 10 games and have put themselves in a position to make the play-in tournament since they have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA over the last month. They did trade away James Harden which will be a blow to their lineup, but they picked up some solid talent too and they still have a lot more talent at their disposal than the Kings do. Look for the Clippers to bounce back big against one of the worst teams in the NBA and use this game to get right. The best way to place a bet here is on the Clippers to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“With James [Harden] gone we got to play a different style of basketball and our younger guys they gotta understand, they should never be holding the basketball. There's only one guy that should be holding the ball is Kawhi [Leonard].” - Ty Lue on the team’s new style of play after trading away James Harden.
“We’re all aligned in what we’re doing. We want to make sur our young players are developing, our fans are getting to see them, and they are out there on the court. I thought they all did really well, but it’s also the ability for them to get that experience in those moments and what those moments feel like.” - Doug Christie after his team’s loss against the Grizzlies in their game on Wednesday.
