The Sacramento Kings are looking for a little luck on St. Patrick’s Day when they host the San Antonio Spurs.

Spurs vs Kings prediction

Spurs vs Kings best bet: Sacramento +13.5 (-110)

The hell with tanking. The Sacramento Kings are on a roll, thanks in part to an extended home run and improvements on both ends of the floor. Defense is the most notable uptick, boasting the third-best rating in the NBA over the past five games.

While this push came against some fellow bottom feeders, Sacramento has surpassed the oddsmakers’ expectations and catches the San Antonio Spurs in a tough spot.

San Antonio is playing the second of a back-to-back and comes down in intensity after a slate packed with playoff-bound opponents. 

Game models like the Spurs but by less than 12 points tonight.

DeMar DeRozan isn’t packing it in. The veteran just dropped 41 points and has scored 107 points over his last three games. He’d love to stick it to his old team tonight.
