Kings 5* (write up)

KINGS -10.5 over T'WOLVES

In this contest, my money is on the Sacramento Kings. Can anybody stop the Kings? Sacramento has been on an absolute roll as of late and will be playing a Minnesota team that has won some games as of late, but who are still struggling against the number.

Sacramento has been on fire. They enter tonight's game a perfect 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games. The ironic part of it is that most of those wins and covers came on the road where they went a PERFECT 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS. Now they return home where they have been nothing short of dominating. The Kings are 34-4 at the Arco Arena, which is the best in the league and are an equally impressive 27-11 ATS. They are outscoring the opposition by 15 ppg and the offense is averaging a whopping 106 ppg on their homecourt as well

Minnesota has won five of their last six games but are just 2-4 ATS during that span. They have already clinched a playoff spot so there isn't much urgency to their game. I do believe they will be a little flat for this contest as they are coming off a hard fought battle in Golden State last night.

The Kings lost the first meeting of the season to the Timberwolves, but they were without Chris Webber. They have defeated the Wolves in the last two meetings with Webber averaging 27 ppg and 11 rpg. Take Sacramento once again as they continue their torrid pace. They are on a mission and that mission is to own the best record in basketball and with that, homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs
