San Antonio Spurs vs Sacramento Kings prediction

The Sacramento Kings are obviously the better team and need to take advantage of games like this to chip away in the standings. However, the Kings are on the end of a back to back and this could be a letdown after a win over the Lakers. The San Antonio Spurs are rested, young and gave the Kings issues a couple of weeks ago where they lost by just 5 points. Lot of points for a team on the end of a back to back. Give me the Spurs and the points if forced to pick.
