Sacramento at Utah

Don't look for any defense in this game. The young Sacramento Kings have the same problem they had last season: no defense. Sacramento allows 102.6 points per game, No. 30 in the NBA, and comes off a loss to Denver on Wednesday allowing 122. At least they have two days of rest and note that the Kings are 4-1 OVER the total when playing on two day’s rest. Their defense has been dreadful over the last three games (2-1 OVER the total) allowing 128, 101 and 122 points (117 per game). They have up 92 points in the paint to Denver! The OVER is 12-3 in the Kings’ last 15 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game and this Utah club is off a 116-101 loss to Dallas. That's part of a 4-0 run OVER the total. Offense is not a problem for Utah, averaging 97.1 ppg, No. 10 in the NBA, and look for them to run the floor against the young (and defenseless) Kings. The OVER is 4-1 in the Jazz's last five home games. Play the OVER.
