Date/Time: Tue, Nov 13 / 10:11:00 PM ET, Sleep Train Arena, Sacramento, CABetting is all about stats. So we’ll begin today’s preview with some interesting numbers that anyone interested in gambling on NBA should pay attention to.
Portland is 4-1 against the spread in the last 5 matchups and 6-1 in the last 7 head-to-heads in Sacramento. On the road, the visiting team is 7-3-1 against the spread in their last 11 matchups. Sacramento, who are playing at home, are 1-8-1 against the spread in their last 10 home games, 7-19-1 against the spread in their last 27 games vs. Western Conference teams, and 6-20-1 against the spread in their last 27 games overall.
Portland is 21-8-1 against the spread in their last 30 games against an NBA squad with a winning percentage below .400. But they’re just 8-19 against the spread in their last 27 games on the road against a team with a winning home record. They’re also 0-4 against the spread in their last four matchups overall.
Those are a lot of numbers to wrap your head around, but they’re important to consider when talking about betting. But if you’re new to online NBA betting, don’t worry. In plain English, here’s what you need to know.
The Kings have dropped to 2-5 after falling to the LA Lakers on Sunday 103-90. Online sportsbook members should note that the Kings are shooting an NBA-worst 40% from the field. A lot of their problems have to do with the very inconsistent play of Tyreke Evans. He’s averaging 11.4 points on 36.9% shooting. For NBA followers, that’s a career worst.
But tonight, Sacramento will face one of the worst defensive teams in the league. The Portland Trail Blazers lost again on Monday night. Even though their defense appeared stronger than that of the Hawks’, Atlanta was able to pull through a 95-87 win.
Portland takes the floor with the better starting five, but even with DeMarcus Cousins out for a 2-game suspension, the Kings will be a tough squad to beat at home, especially given the fact that Portland’s starting five seems to lack depth.
NBA fans will remember that the Trail Blazers don’t have a good record in back-to-back games, and they have a history of losing to teams on the road that they really should have beaten.
Game Odds:
Portland Trail Blazers: +2.5-110, ML +125
Sacramento Kings: -2.5-110, ML -145
Game Total: 196, o/u: -110
