Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction

The Sacramento Kings should win this game given the clear health advantage and the fact they beat the Grizzlies by 31 points on New Year's Eve. The Memphis Grizzlies have the majority of their key players on the injury list, and it's hard to get behind them most nights. With that said, the Kings have been a bit underwhelming up to this point, and the Grizzlies continue to compete and find ways to scratch out wins here and there. The Grizzlies have also covered 4 straight games. At home, give me the boatload of points with the Grizzlies.
