The Kings are finishing their seven-game road trip

They have won six of their last seven games, which is very impressive considering that they played the last six on the road. Sacramento is coming off a 123-115 win over the Chicago Bulls, with De’Aaron Fox scoring 41 points and Domantas Sabonis having a triple-double of 13 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. Fox leads the Kings with 27.5 points per game. The Kings are eighth in the league, scoring 118.5 points per game, and tenth, shooting 48.1% from the field.
The Cavaliers have won the last five games
The Cleveland Cavaliers are third in the Eastern Conference with a 31-16 record. They have won the last five games, which is the longest active winning streak in the NBA. The Cavs are coming off a 117-101 win over the San Antonio Spurs. They are third in the league, allowing 109.7 points per game, and fourth, allowing 45.5% shooting from the field. Donovan Mitchell leads the Cavs with 28.2 points per game, which puts him sixth in the league.
Betting Trends
The Kings are 8-2 SU in the last 10 games against the Cavs, 10-2 ATS in the last 12 against them and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games played in Cleveland. Sacramento is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games against teams from the Eastern Conference. Cleveland is 2-5 ATS in the last 7 games played in February.
Prediction and Conclusion
Both teams are hot at the moment, and this will be an interesting matchup between two of the best guards in the league, Fox and Mitchell. The Kings are definitely tired going into this one, as they will play their seventh consecutive game on the road. However, they have had success in Cleveland in the past, regardless of the Cavs’ winning streak. Sacramento has a chance in this one. The Cavaliers are a 5.5-point favorite, and the Kings would be able to keep the game close and cover the spread.
