A pair of 1-0 teams take the floor on Fridya night when the Sacramento Kings have their home opener against the reigning No. 1 seed in the Western Conference Utah Jazz.

The Jazz beat the basement dwelling Thunder in their opener on Friday, 107-86, while the Kings went to Portland and grabbed an impressive win against the Blazers, 124-121.

Jazz vs. Kings Prediction and Pick

The Kings got off to a strong start against the Blazers, but they are in for a serious step up in class against the Jazz, and this line feels a few points too short.

Utah had the best net rating in the league last season and the league's best record. I expect them to exploit a Kings defense that was the worst by all accounts last season and get Donovan Mitchell going.

The Jazz didn't need much from their star guard, but he did shoot just 30% from the field in 28 minutes. Utah's defense is a much tougher test than Portland's and I expect we see the Kings to struggle in this one, and Utah gets another double digit victory.

Pick: Jazz -6.5
