Detroit Pistons vs Sacramento Kings prediction

The Sacramento Kings obviously have the ability to blow the doors off here, but let's not act like they don't have some bizarre losses on their resume this season. This is also a look ahead spot for the Kings, who play the Nuggets, Thunder, and Suns after this. The Detroit Pistons have also been a lot more competitive as of late, which includes covers in 8 of their last 10 games. This is a lot of points, and I'm going to lean toward the Pistons if forced to pick.
