This has been the most entertaining first round series by far. In Game 4 my +637 odds Same Game Parlay cashed. I was able to follow it up with a +491 odds Same Game Parlay winner in Game 5 on Wednesday, so why not go for a 3rd consecutive winner tonight in Game 6?
Tip-off is scheduled for 8 pm ET on ESPN. Don't forget to also head over to our NBA Predictions page for picks on the side and total for Game 6 of Memphis Grizzlies vs LA Lakers.
Let's dive into my SGP bet now.
Sacramento Kings +9.5 Alt. Point Spread (-148)
Elimination games in the playoffs are the toughest ones to win, we saw that already a couple of times in this years' postseason. With their season on the line I'm expecting to see the best out of the Kings tonight. Only 1 of the 5 games played in this series was decided by double-digits, while the last one at Chase Center was decided by just 1 point. Despite losing both games on the road in this series, the Kings have been competitive in their visits to Chase Center covering the spread in 12 of their last 15 visits, plus in the last 23 meetings head-to-head they're 16-7 ATS. The defending champions are the betting favorites here, but these type of games tend to be very competitive so I would be shocked if they won this one in a blowout. Yes, the Kings' best player is dealing with a broken finger, but let us not forget that this team had the best road record in the Western Conference this season. I'm not sure if they can push it to a Game 7 on Sunday, but I' m most certainly confident they can keep things close here and cover the spread.
