It's difficult to trust defenseless Sacramento in the role of big favorite, #28 in the NBA in points allowed and #22 in field goal shooting defense. The Kings are 17-35-1 ATS following a straight up win, plus 11-28-2 ATS at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Portland is in town off a rousing 105-76 win over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. Allen Crabbe had 26 while starting in place of Damon Lillard. Crabbe went 8-of-15 and is averaging 19 points in the three games Lillard has watched from the bench. Portland took two of three meetings last season, including a 110-99 victory at Sacramento on March 1. The Blazers are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Sacramento, so grab the big dog. Play Portland.
