Kings vs. Blazers Prediction and Odds: Value on the Total

The Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers meet on Sunday night in a battle of two non playoff teams at the moment.

Sacramento enters on a three game losing streak while the Blazers are still playing without Damian Lillard, who has missed the last three games with an abdominal injury.

Who has the edge in this Western Conference meeting? Here are the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook.

Kings vs. Blazers Prediction and Pick

For the most part, I'm never interested in backing the Kings as road favorites, but the Blazers have struggled without Lillard to confidently back them either.

However, I do believe this total is underselling the porous defense on both fronts. These are two of the four worst defenses in the league per 100 possessions, according to NBA.com. Neither defense has been able to show any resistance on that side of the ball and I don't expect much different here.

I also like this matchup to yield a ton of points due to the Kings pace, top 10 in the league. The Kings have allowed 110 or more points in four of their last five in track meet style games. I expect more of the same in Portland on Sunday.

PICK: OVER 224
