The Sacramento Kings continue on the road and will visit the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night. These teams have met 2 times so far this season, and they're tied 1-1.

De'Aaron Fox is scoring 22 points per game with 3.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists for the Kings. Barnes is averaging 20.1 points and 6.1 rebounds while shooting 57.3% for Sacramento.

In their last 10 games the Kings are 4-6, averaging 113.1 points, 42 rebounds, 25.3 assists, 7 steals and 4.4 blocks per game while shooting 48.1% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 117.8 points.

BETTING TRENDS

Sacramento are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games.

The total has gone OVER in 8 of Sacramento's last 11 games.

San Antonio are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games at home.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of San Antonio's last 7 games.

Prediction

It's hard to trust the Kings on the road and the Spurs at home, however what I'm looking at on this game is the total. Both teams like to play fast and play zero defense, the Spurs are allowing 118.8 in their last 10 games and scoring nearly 120 ppg while the Kings are allowing 117.7 ppg and scoring 113.1 ppg in their last 10. The Over has cashed big time lately with both teams so that's what I'm taking. I know it's a high total but they'll get it.

PICK: Over 238 (-110)
