Meanwhile, the Kings are 9-12 at home overall but have won their last 4, and Sabonis has returned.<\/p>\n The Blazers are 5-2 when playing on no rest, as they are tonight. The Kings are 5-6 when playing with a rest advantage.<\/p>\n Three of the Kings\u2019 wins during this streak have come against teams at or above .500. They are playing their best basketball of the season.<\/p>\n Expect that to continue, but the spread for either team offers better value than the Kings\u2019 moneyline.<\/p>\n PASS.<\/p>\n The Kings are 11-1 ATS in their 12 victories this season. They are 2-2 ATS as favorites.<\/p>\n Of the Blazers\u2019 22 losses, 21 have been by more than 2 points.<\/p>\n BET KINGS -2.5 (-118).<\/p>\n Six of Portland\u2019s last 10 games have failed to reach 229 total points.
