Bulls vs Kings Prediction & Pick
The Kings looked downright bad at times against the Clippers. Sacramento couldn't get much going on offense, highlighted by its 37.3% field-goal percentage, as well as when it was outscored 27-9 in the second quarter. In fact, the Kings didn't even lead for a second in the final three quarters of the game.
Although the Bulls are also coming off a loss, they shot slightly better from the field (40%). They even battled back from a seven-point deficit after the first quarter and actually entered the fourth with a tied score. Ultimately, the game slipped away from the Bulls, but they still proved that they can be c ompetitive.
With three days of rest also on their side, I like the Bulls' chances of upsetting the Kings. Sacramento will likely be tired from last night's loss, opening the door for Chicago to pounce on the former's shortcomings.
Final Score Prediction:'Bulls: 80 | Kings: 78
Bulls vs Kings Best Bet
Regardless of who wins tonight, I'm sticking with the Under on the 175.5-point total. Neither team has gotten much rolling on offense, proven by the Bulls averaging 81.5 PPG while the Kings operate on a 75 PPG clip. Unless both sides find a way to consistently sink the ball, keeping expectations low is for the best.
