Why the Kings were able to cover the spread / win

The Kings really scored basketball until Doug Christie. In his time under Christie, the Kings are averaging 122.1 points per game. If it was a full season, that number would rank in the NBA. When the Kings score 120+ points this season, they have a 15-8 record. Under Christie, they are 7-3 in those situations. The Nets will be giving up some points, so the Kings should be able to continue on Monday night. If they can, they will have a great opportunity to cover the spread.

Brooklyn has really struggled lately. They are on a six-game losing streak and have lost 16 of their last 20 games. In the last six games, the nets have a lot of problems with problems. They are putting up 90.8 points per game. In fact The nets put up 67 points in a scissor loss to los angeles. With their lack of scoring, the Kings have a fantastic opportunity to cover this spread. Sacramento isn’t the greatest defensive team, but that might not matter on Monday night.

Why the networks were able to cover the spread / win

The Kings began their road trip in Denver. Then they went to New York to play the Knicks. Sacramento lost both of those games. In those games, the Kings allowed 132 and 143 points. In those games combined, the Kings have allowed their opponents to shoot 49.0 percent from the floor and 41.1 percent from beyond the arc. The Nets, as mentioned, haven’t scored well lately or this season, but this game could get them back on track. If Brooklyn can just get back to scoring like an average NBA team, they’ll have a chance to cover the spread.

The Nets have already beaten the Kings once this season. It was under different circumstances, but it was still a win for the networks. In that game, Brooklyn allowed just 103 points and the Kings attempted just 77 shots. Additionally, the net managed to hold the Kings to just nine made threes in the game. Additionally, the Kings turned the ball over 16 times. Now, Brooklyn wasn’t great on offense, but their defense wasn’t bad. If the Nets can have a similar defensive game in this one, they’ll have a chance to cover the spread.

Final kings-network prediction and selection

I don’t think this game will be all that close. The Nets are playing some very poor basketball and their injuries are really hindering their ability to score. I don’t expect Brooklyn to score any points in this game either. The Kings should have no problem beating Brooklyn on the road on Monday night. I’ll take the kings to not only win, but cover the spread.

Final Kings-Nets Prediction and Pick: Kings -10.5 (-108)
