San Antonio at Sacramento

Much like the Nuggets and Bulls yesterday, the Sacremento Kings face the near-guaranteed elimination if they lose this game. Returning home with this motivation is strong. Especially considering that the 2-0 team can't be as motivated as they were earlier. It's almost as if these 2-0 road teams are expecting to lose game 3. The Kings had one of the longest winning streaks this year on home court and are 15-5 ATS at home. Sacramento is not new to beating the Spurs. When their back was to the wall in a must win road game at San Antonio they came through earlier this year. They now face a similiar situation and combine that with the fact that the Kings are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a SU loss, 3-0 ATS as a home underdog and the Spurs are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings between these two teams, let's take the Kings tonight in a must win in front of their home crowd. Off the confidence-building near-win without Artest last game, I expect Sacramento to come out pumped up, confident and motivated. Kings to rebound here.
