Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction

I've been pounding the drum for the Los Angeles Clippers for much of the season, as I believe they're the team to beat in terms of the NBA title. However, unless the Kings have a key injury I'm not aware of, this line is disrespectful. The Kings are a good team that can beat anybody on any given night and have 16 road wins. And while the Clippers are winning, they're 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Again, this line is a bit strange. Give me the Kings and the free buckets.
