The Kings have won back-to-back for interim Doug Christie, but note those were vs. Dallas minus Luka Doncic and a Sizers side that blew a 107-98 lead with 3 minutes to play before getting outscored 15-0 down the stretch. Memphis still without Ja Morant (shoulder) but showed what it could do minus him when taking out the Suns on Tuesday night when Jaren Jackson assumed the lead role and scored 38 points, and Sacto's recent 6-game skld that earned Mike Brown (who coached the first five of those) a pink slip included five straight losses at home. Note the Griz earlier beat the Kings 115-110 on December 5 at FedEx Forum without much help from Morant (2 for 13 FGs that night). Play Grizzlies
Are we sure the right team is favored here? Memphis has done nothing but cover on the road for weeks, and they have won 15 of their last 19 games - despite Ja Morant missing time - and have won 5 of their last 7 on the road and they are 18-5 against the bottom half of the NBA. They don't make a habit of losing to lesser teams home on road. Have the 6th best net rating on road. SAC is 15th in net rating at home. Have won 2 of last 8 games and 2 of 9 at home. Going for a third straight win, something they've done just twice this season. Grizz should have fresh legs with extra rest.
This is like Wed night all over again. I think the wrong team was favored in PHI/SAC and it took a wild final 3 mins for Kings to win. Grizz were dogs Tues at PHX for some reason and won outright like we thought they would. I see it happening here again. SAC 3-12 ATS last 15 at home and 1-8 ATS last 9 overall. Grizz have covered 20 of last 26 and 9 of 12 on the road. Beat SAC by 5 earlier this season. Playing sound, balanced basketball and not getting enough respect from Vegas.
