The Kings have dropped the first 3 games on a 6-stop road trip, including a 103-87 loss in New York Tuesday as 15.5-point underdogs as the Under (225.5) cashed. F DeMar DeRozan did his best, pouring in 34 points on 13-of-26 shooting, while C Domantas Sabonis posted 11 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists with a block.

Sacramento’s 87 points against the Knicks was a season low, and it was just the eighth time it went for 99 or fewer points in 48 tries. The Kings slipped to 1-5 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 games, while the Under halted a 4-game Over run.

The 76ers posted a 139-122 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday, cashing as 10.5-point favorites as the Over (219.5) hit. F Paul George ended up with 32 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals with 9 3-pointers, while C Joel Embiid ended up with 29 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and a steal.

Philadelphia’s 139 points against the Bucks tied a season high, with the previous 2 times occurring in overtime. Despite the cover, the 76ers are 3-5 ATS in the past 8 games, and the Over has a 3-2 edge in the past 5 outings.

Kings at 76ers picks and predictionsPrediction

76ers 124, Kings 108

The 76ers (-550) will cost you 5 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, even as bad as the Kings are, and no matter how certain a victory might look.

Even if you were to throw Philadelphia into a multi-leg parlay, including such a heavy favorite sucks a lot of value out of your potential winnings.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

The 76ERS -11.5 (-110) is a decent play against the skidding Kings, who are just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 games after a decent run to begin January.

The Sixers haven’t been able to stack covers lately, going just 3-5 ATS in the past 8 games, but Philadelphia covered its only game as a double-digit favorite during that span, and it is 3-1 ATS as a favorite of 10+ points this season.

The OVER 228.5 (-110) is the lean, but don’t get carried away.

For the Sixers, the Over has cashed in 3 in a row as a double-digit favorite, and Philly has cashed high in 3 of the past 4 home outings.

The Over has hit in 4 of the past 5 games for Sacramento, with the Kings allowing at least 122 points in 4 of the past 5 games, and 116+ in 6 of the past 7 outings.
