Sacramento felt the taste of victory, team is already in the play-in zone. Alvin Gentry's men will try to extend their winning streak at home, plus there are not too many problems with the squad, only Marvin Bagley is unavailable. Overall, we are expecting a good performance from the visitors.
Our prediction - Handicap (+8) points for Sacramento Kings
We think that hosts will play cautiously and will try to contain the opponent's offense. Grizzlies know how to play offensively, but in recent head-to-head matches they failed to put up a high-scoring performance.
Our second bet is on total under 230 points
