Why the Kings can cover 

The Bulls are hoping to do what the Celtics couldn’t on Friday: put an end to the Kings’ winning streak, which now stands at six games. The Kings strolled past the Celtics with points to spare, taking the game 114-97. Domantas Sabonis continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, dropping a double-double with 23 points and 28 rebounds. He has been hot for a while, having posted 10 or more rebounds in his last 15 outings. 

The Kings dominated the offensive glass and finished the game with 16 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the Kings as they’ve now pulled down at least 10 offensive rebounds in seven consecutive games. The Kings have also fared well on the road, winning four of their last five road games. See which team to pick here. 

Why the Bulls can cover 

Meanwhile, there’s no place like home for the Bulls, who bounced back after a tough loss on the road on Wednesday. They were the clear victor by a 138-105 margin over the Wizards on Friday. The win marked Chicago’s most dominant victory of the season so far.

The Bulls’ success was spearheaded by the efforts of Nikola Vucevic, who shot 4-for-6 from beyond the arc and dropped a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds, and Zach LaVine, who went 14 for 21 en route to 33 points plus five rebounds. The matchup was LaVine’s fifth in a row with at least 30 points. For the season, LaVine is averaging 23.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. He’s knocking down 51.8% of his field goals and 44.4% of his 3-point attempts. See which team to pick here.
