Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction

The Los Angeles Clippers still have a consistency issue, but they're at home with the rest advantage and simply need to win these games if they're going to be taken seriously. The Clippers have played their best ball at home, where they're 7-3 SU, and they smacked the Kings a couple of weeks ago by a score of 131-117. The Clippers are playing their best ball of the season right now and should be able to take advantage of a Kings side that's on the end of a back to back. I'll lay the small chalk.
