Kings at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 126, Kings 117

Moneyline

The Suns have won 5 of their last 7 games and are 15-11 at home. They have won their last 5 home games.

The Kings are 1-3 in their last 4 games and have allowed 122 or more points in 4 of their last 6 games. They are 15-13 on the road this season.

I like the Suns to win, but betting the moneyline here doesn’t give you any value.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Suns have covered the spread in their last 6 wins and 12 of their last 14 wins have been by more than 5 points.

The Kings are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against the Suns. But they have not covered the spread in a loss since they lost to the Suns 119-117 on Jan. 16, covering the 4.5-point spread as underdogs.

BET SUNS -5.5 (-105).

Over/Under

None of the 3 meetings between the 2 teams this season has had a total higher than this game’s projection.

The Suns have allowed 111.5 points per game over their last 4 contests. While the Kings have allowed 125.5 points per game in their last 4, unless they are also getting into the 120s, it will be tough for the Over to hit.

BET UNDER 245.5 (-110).
