Randy’s Pick
The Sacramento Kings have the rest advantage, and they've won 5 straight, so I can understand why you may be leaning that direction. The Mavs have just been the more consistent team, and they're at home where they play their best ball. The Mavs have also won 4 of the last 5 meetings against the Kings. I'd need more than a point to back the Kings in this spot. Give me the Mavericks.
