Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Picks
Los Angeles comes into the Kings vs Lakers picks and parlays 10-12 against the spread (ATS) as home favorites but has been playing some of their best basketball of the season as of late. James, in particular, has been leading the team to victories, proving age is just a number.
While he’s questionable to play with an ankle injury, if he does play 26.5 points is a low number considering his scoring proficiency in his recent games. He had 26 or more in five of his previous games before the Lakers’ win over OKC. Russell, meanwhile, had had just three assists in each of his last two games but had at least five in the last six games.
