Analysis

Pacific Division Total of the Year. My selection is on the 'under' between Sacramento and Los Angeles at 9:40 pm et on Sunday. We won with the Lakers last night as they picked up a much-needed bounce-back win over the Warriors in San Francisco. Los Angeles' offense took center stage in that contest as it shot a blistering 48-of-90 from the field including 19-of-41 from three-point range. I think we'll see the Lakers lean on their defense in this back-to-back spot on Sunday as they catch the Kings patting themselves on the back after delivering an 'upset' win in Dallas on Thursday. I don't think this is a great spot for Sacramento as it checks in off a couple of off days following a 2-1 start to its current road trip. It will undoubtedly have one eye on a return home where it will begin a five-game homestand on Tuesday against Phoenix. While outlier performances are possible from the Kings, as we've seen on this trip, their potential floor remains incredibly low as well. Note that Sacramento has been held to 97 points or fewer in five of its last 10 road contests. I don't think this is a spot where we'll see the Lakers put their foot on the gas for 48 minutes. While they hoisted up 90 field goal attempts in last night's blowout victory, that marked the first time they eclipsed 87 since January 24th in Dallas (that game still totalled only 226 points). Finally, we'll note that the Kings have seen the 'over' cash in each of their last four games. That matches their longest such streak of the season, which they've reached three times previously before the 'under' cashed in their next contest each time. Take the under (10*).
