Sacramento at Portland

It has been over a decade since the Sacramento Kings have made the playoffs. They are finally putting together a roster of players that should eventually get them there. The Kings opened the season like a recurring nightmare at 0-5 but have since gone 8-6. The progress is even more noticeable when you consider the negative perception of this team vs. reality. The Kings are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games, including 9-1 ATS as a dog where they have five outright wins. Portland is just 5-11 in their last 16 and has actually been a worse team than the Kings, and just 3-7 ATS as a favorite in their last 10 in this role. Play on Sacramento.
