The Cleveland Cavaliers should see prized trade deadline pickup James Harden suit up before the end of their five-game road trip through the West.
It just might not be Saturday in Sacramento against the Kings.
Even without Harden, my Cavaliers vs. Kings predictions and NBA picks expect Cleveland to take advantage of a Sacramento team playing the second night of a back-to-back, but it won't be enough to cover on Saturday, February 7.
Cavaliers vs Kings prediction
Cavaliers vs Kings best bet: Kings +12 (-110)
James Harden might be the biggest name sidelined (he’s questionable Saturday), but he’s not alone. The Cleveland Cavaliers are down Evan Mobley (calf) and Max Strus (foot), while Dean Wade (ankle) is also questionable.
The Sacramento Kings just lost their 11th in a row and continue to bleed points, allowing 120.5 per game. They rank next-to-last with a 2-7-0 record against the spread when playing on a second straight night.
However, the Kings have shown fight of late, losing by four points or fewer in four of their last five, and they catch the Cavaliers nowhere near their final form.
Sacramento has owned this head-to-head, going 7-1-0 ATS in the last eight meetings with Cleveland.
The Cavs also don’t take advantage of being the better-rested team, going just 2-7-0 ATS in that scenario, the second-worst mark in the league.
I don’t think SacTo wins, but it's getting a lot of points.
