This is a big game with the Kings two games behind the Clippers for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. The Kings are an excellent team at home and are 11-1 there against the spread across their last 12 games. The Clippers have managed to stay afloat after trading away Tobias Harris, but I like the Kings to win and cover this small line.

My projections see the Kings bouncing back from their heart-breaking loss to the Bucks and defeating the Clippers by at least eight points Friday, a solid value position on the small home favorite. Sacramento battled back from a 14-point deficit against Milwaukee only to lose by one point in overtime Wednesday. but this is still the best covering team in the NBA, and I've got them doing so Friday in two-thirds of simulations.
