Both the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings remade their rosters at the trade deadline, and now the division rivals will face off.
The Clippers flipped James Harden into Darius Garland. While the Kings brought in Garland’s former teammate, De’Andre Hunter. But my Clippers vs. Kings predictions are banking on the old guard to have a big impact on this game.
Those and more NBA picks for this Pacific Division clash set to tip off at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento at 10 p.m. ET on Friday, February 6.
Clippers vs Kings prediction
Clippers vs Kings best bet: DeMar DeRozan Over 16.5 points (-120)
There are plenty of new faces in new places in this matchup, but I’m betting on an old face who has found the fountain of youth recently.
Sacramento Kings veteran DeMar DeRozan has been on one of his classic heaters lately. He’s averaging 23.4 points over his last five games, topping the 30-point plateau twice in that span.
The Los Angeles Clippers defense has regressed a bit lately, surrendering 122 points or more in three of their last four games, and they still rank 21st in defensive rating for the season.
DeRozan’s point total is a modest 16.5, which is a number we can attack.

Clippers vs Kings same-game parlay
The Kings traded for Hunter because they’ve been so bad defensively. They rank 29th in defensive rating this season. But he won’t help in the paint where they allow the second-most points per game.
That has me looking at John Collins. The Clippers' power forward is averaging 16.4 points over his last 15 games, topping 16.5 points eight times over that stretch.
I’m expecting both teams to get buckets in this one, so the Over looks like a solid add to this SGP.
