Our Prediction
The Clippers are just 2-5-1 at the betting window in their last eight games playing on no rest. They got a big victory last night against the Warriors and not have to play the crap Kings. This is a true letdown spot for L.A., which is also 2-5 against the number in its last seven Thursday games.
On the other side, the Kings are 5-2-1 against the spread in their last eight games coming off a loss of more than 10 points.
Thursday NBA Prediction: Sacramento Kings +1.5
