Before you make any Kings vs. Trail Blazers picks and predictions, you'll want to see what the SportsLine Projection Model is saying.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned almost $9,000 in profit on its top-rated NBA picks over the past three seasons. The model finished up almost $600 on its top-rated picks last season and enters the 2021-22 NBA season on a stunning 100-66 roll on top-rated NBA picks against the spread. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns!

Portland made significant changes following another early playoff exit last season, and moved on from head coach Terry Stotts. Chauncey Billups is now running the show, in what looks like a do-or-die season with superstar Damian Lillard. Much of the offseason conversation about the team centered around Lillard's disappointment in the team's inability to advance beyond the conference finals. In response, Portland re-signed Norm Powell in the offseason, but let valuable pieces like Carmelo Anthony and Enes Kanter leave for new teams.

Sacramento enters this season with the eighth-longest odds to win a championship, at 250-1 on Caesars Sportsbook. The Kings didn't change much in the offseason outside of replacing center Hasaan Whiteside with Alex Len, who came over from the Wizards. First round draft pick and ninth overall selection Davion Mitchell was a bit underwhelming during Summer League play, but will start the season backing up De'Aaron Fox, who led the team in scoring with 25.2 points per game last season.

Now, the model it has simulated Trail Blazers vs. Kings 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you that the model is leaning Over, and it also says one side of the spread has all the value. You absolutely need to see it before locking in your own picks.
