The current betting odds have the Clippers listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Clippers have looked really good in their games this season with their 37-18 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 20-6 home record. Meanwhile, the Kings have also looked good in their games this season with their 32-23 record overall which has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West but also right on the cusp of a true playoff spot. They have also been a good road team this season but they definitely haven't been their best in road games with their 16-14 road record. They do have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now but they are only 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Clippers have been the hotter team lately with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games and they will also have some momentum here off a win against the Grizzlies in their last game. Both of these teams have been having good seasons but the Clippers have been the more consistent team lately and they will be looking to go on a run now with the number 1 seed in the West still up for grabs. The best way to place a bet here is on the Clippers to cover the spread in this game.
