Randy’s Pick
The Sacramento Kings have the rest advantage and have their best player back in De’Aaron Fox. However, the Lakers have played their best ball at home this season, where they're 5-0, and they've strung together 3 straight wins overall. With losses to the Kings in 5 of their last 6 meetings, I do expect the Lakers to come out with some motivation and end this drought against an in-state opponent. Pick 'em spot, give me the Lakers at home.
