The 6-4 Sacramento Kings visit the 3-8 San Antonio Spurs in a big NBA Friday night game. It’s been a tough start to the regular season for the Spurs, but a big win over their Western Conference rivals could kickstart their campaign.
If you are looking to place a bet on the game, our exclusive NBA Picks are essential reading. Our basketball experts have weighed up the key factors that will determine the game and put together their exclusive tip.
After an indifferent start to the season, the Kings have hit form. Four wins on the spin, including victories over the likes of the Timbers and the Lakers have seen them move into the top six of the Western Conference. Domantas Sabonis has been the star man for the Kings so far. The Lithuanian guard leads the team in points, blocks, assists and rebounds. Along with De’Aaron Fox, Sabonis will be vital in helping the Kings maintain their strong form.
It’s been a November to forget so far for the Spurs. Six defeats in a row have sent them towards the foot of the Western Conference table. Most worryingly, they are being outscored by over 13 points per game, a statistic not helped by a 36 point defeat to the Thunder last time out. There’s a long way to go, but the Spurs need to start finding some form if they are to avoid a fifth consecutive season without a playoff appearance.
The two teams have met in 191 regular season games, with the Spurs holding a big 126-65 lead in the head-to-head. The Spurs were victorious when the teams last played each other, but before that, the Kings had been on a five game winning run.

The Kings are marginal favorites for the game on NBA betting sites and can be backed at -130 for the win. Meanwhile, the Spurs are priced at +110 to break their losing streak.
Momentum is a huge factor in the NBA. So it is impossible to ignore the fact that the Spurs are on a six game losing streak, whilst the Kings have won four in a row. The nature of some of those results is also indicative of the fact that these are two times heading in opposite directions.
Given that form, it is surprising that the Kings are only two point favourites on the spread. We think they look by far the better team here and, even as favourites, they represent an excellent value bet.
