The Spurs have an ATS record of 31-46 this season and their O/U record is 43-32-2.

The Kings are coming into this game with a 47-30 record overall and they are 23-16 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game on a 2 game winning streak with wins coming against the Portland Trail Blazers in their last 2 games.

The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 15.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have been terrible this season with their 19-58 record overall making them one of the worst teams in the West and the entire NBA. They have also been terrible in their road games with a 6-32 road record and have no momentum coming into this one with 6 losses in a row now. The Kings are 47-30 overall this season and they have been good in their home games too with a 23-16 home record. They also have 2 wins in a row now with both of those coming against the Trail Blazers, but the Kings have already clinched a playoff spot and it is very unlikely that they will catch the Nuggets for the number 1 seed in the West. The Kings will not be trying as hard in this game as they will be focused on getting to the playoffs healthy so they could easily overlook this Spurs team as they are one of the worst in the NBA. The Spurs are also going to be desperate for a win here after losing 6 in a row and this is a lot of points for the Kings to cover here when the Spurs will fight hard to keep it close. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.

“It’s pretty much been like that all year, so we’re kind of used to it. As long as they’re giving effort, they’re all learning. They’re making mistakes, but overall, that’s what we’re trying to do. No matter who’s out, no matter who’s not playing, other guys are happy to get minutes.” - Gregg Popovich after his team’s loss against the Jazz in their game on Wednesday.

"Right now, it's too close to think about resting when there's a chance to get to the second spot. So we're going to keep playing and when and if everything gets settled and a certain point, then I think we'll revisit then.” - Mike Brown after his team’s win against the Trail Blazers in their game on Friday.
