Los Angeles Clippers vs Sacramento Kings Preview
The Clippers basically just tore their entire franchise apart this week.
Darius Garland and Bennedict Mathurin won’t be available while the trade is being finalized.
There is simply too much upheaval to think it’s a good idea to back this Clippers team right now, especially as road favorites.
I don’t really want to take the Kings either. Sacramento is a mess.
However, I just can’t get to a number where this looks like a Clippers spot.
Clippers vs Kings Picks, Betting Predictions
After adjusting for trades and absences, I make the spread for this game Clippers -2.
Maybe John Collins, Kawhi Leonard, and Kris Dunn are enough to make it happen, but the Kings have at least played together for long stretches of minutes.
It is rare that I think it’s a good idea to back the Kings, but with how much has changed for the Clippers, I think this is a bad spot for Los Angeles.
