San Antonio Spurs vs Sacramento Kings prediction

The Sacramento Kings have been inconsistent this season, and it's hard to figure out which team is going to show up from game to game. However, the San Antonio Spurs continue to rack up the losses, they're not playing defense, and they're 25-30 ATS on the season. The Spurs have failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games. The Spurs are big underdogs nightly, and they're not cashing tickets. Knowing that, it's Kings or pass for me.
