San Antonio Spurs (34-14)
San Antonio has a total of four home losses and the Kings has only four road wins, nonetheless the Kings managed to leave the Spurs with a few points at the AT&T Center on January 20. San Antonio shot 37.8 percent in the 88-86 setback. The Spurs have had less trouble lately, winning five straight. That streak has kept them within three games of the West-leading Oklahoma City Thunder while pulling them far ahead of the third-place Los Angeles Lakers. After holding its previous three opponents to 83.0 points, San Antonio won a shootout, 207-100, at Phoenix last Tuesday. This team had taken 12 straight in the series before the January loss.
Sacramento Kings (17-32)
The reason why the Kings have a poor record is because of their sub-par play on the road, where they are the West-worst 4-22 mark. The Kings are a much more respectable 13-10 at Power Balance Pavilion. Sacramento has dropped three straight in tough fashion, losing by a combined four points to Utah and Golden State before taking the Houston Rockets to overtime in a 113-106 setback on Monday.
DeMarcus Cousins is playing as if their team is not out of the race, averaging 29.3 points and 16.7 rebounds over the last three games. Cousins’ 38 points on Monday marked a career high. The second-year forward put up 17 and 13 in the January meeting. Against the Spurs, DeMarcus Cousins averaged 12.3 points and 11.3 rebounds in four career games.
Here are the predictions if you are itching to bet on NBA playoffs:
Spurs 105, Kings 97
