The Los Angeles Clippers seek a fifth straight win when they host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night.

Los Angeles’ offense has been humming, and my Kings vs. Clippers predictions expect a high-scoring affair at Intuit Dome.

Here are my best free NBA picks for this Pacific Division showdown on Saturday, March 14.

Kings vs Clippers prediction

Kings vs Clippers best bet: Over 231.5 (-110)

Defense has taken a backseat to offense over the Los Angeles Clippers’ four-game win streak. In that span, LA’s defensive rating has fallen from 115.3 to 117.6, but its offensive rating has surged to an NBA-best 129.6.

In that span, the Clippers have averaged a whopping 130.3 points.

The Sacramento Kings’ offense has improved over the last four games, too, posting a 115.1 offensive rating while scoring 118 points per game. The Kings have hit the Over in six of their last 10, and the Clippers have done so in seven of 10.

Kings vs Clippers same-game parlay


Darius Garland has started three straight for the Clippers, averaging 30 PRA in that span and hitting the Over in each contest. He got Friday night off for injury maintenance, so Garland should be fresh as the operator of the NBA’s hottest offense.

Bennedict Mathurin has scored 20+ points in four straight games, and he’s eclipsed 28 PRA three times in that span. Los Angeles has given him the green light to let it fly, as Mathurin has attempted 16 shots per game over the last four.

He’s doing enough as a rebounder and facilitator to cash the Over tonight.

Kings vs Clippers SGP

  • Over 231.5
  • Darius Garland Over 26.5 points+rebounds+assists
  • Bennedict Mathurin Over 27.5 points+rebounds+assists

Our "from downtown" SGP: Guards Bonanza!

Nique Clifford has started seven straight games, averaging 13.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists across 35.9. He leads the Kings in minutes and ranks in the top-3 on the team in rebounds and assists.

He’s finished with 21+ PRA in four of seven games, and he should stay involved tonight with a number of Sacramento guards sidelined or banged up.

Russell Westbrook is back in action after a one-game absence, and he should slot back into the starting five. Over his last seven appearances, Westy has averaged 31.6 PRA. He’s gone for 28+ PRA in five of seven and three straight.

His high usage should help him reach the Over against his former team.

Kings vs Clippers SGP

  • Darius Garland Over 26.5 points+rebounds+assists
  • Bennedict Mathurin Over 27.5 points+rebounds+assists
  • Nique Clifford Over 20.5 points+rebounds+assists
  • Russell Westbrook Over 27.5 points+rebounds+assists

Kings vs Clippers odds

  • Spread: Kings +13.5 (-110) | Clippers -13.5 (-110)
