Result:
LOSS

Portland has a chip on its shoulder. Portland's star point guard Damian Lillard called out his teammates after Saturday's contest when the Blazers were routed 135-90 by the Golden State Warriors. The 45-point margin represents the largest loss in the NBA this season. The Blazers are 13-5 ATS when playing on two days of rest and face a bad Kings squad. Sacramento has a losing record overall, including at home. Small forward Rudy Gay (hip flexor) sat out the past three games and his scoring punch is badly missed. Sacramento's last three losses have been by an average of 24.7 points! The Kings are 18-40-2 ATS at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Blazers posted a 122-120 win over the Kings last month for their seventh straight victory in the series and they are 11-4 ATS at Sacramento. Grab the points on Portland.
