San Antonio at Sacramento

Victor Wembanyama went for 52 points, 24 rebounds, and eight blocks on Wednesday, and the Spurs still needed his late putbacks to beat Dallas 112-111 after leading 68-51 at the half. San Antonio is 6-2 and has won six straight, while Sacramento is 1-7 and 0-3 at home. Through eight games, the Spurs have scored 116.9 points per game and allowed 108.6, so their games have averaged 225.5 combined points. In my read of the Kings' game log, they allowed at least 121 in each of their first six games, including the 130 San Antonio scored in a 27-point win in the first meeting. In the two games since, they allowed 100 at Dallas and 116 to the Lakers. Entering Wednesday, Sacramento ranked fifth in pace and 25th in offensive rating, and it shot 38.2% from the field against the Lakers. The Kings also allowed the most points in the paint in the league entering Wednesday, and the Spurs are 2-0 on the road this season. San Antonio only has to cover a little more than half the time for our bankroll to profit on the spread. Maxime Raynaud, who scored 32 against San Antonio in March, is out, so Domantas Sabonis has to hold the paint against Wembanyama without him. Take the Spurs on the spread and the UNDER tonight, with Wembanyama averaging 4.5 blocks a game against a Kings offense that wastes its possessions.
