Premium Pick

Sacramento has the offense clicking behind power forward Zach Randolph, topping 100 points in three of the last four. That included a 110-106 upset at Golden State, the team with the best defensive field goal shooting allowed in the NBA. But the Kings' defense is still poor at #28 in field goal defense allowing .478% shooting, plus allowing 39% shooting from beyond the arc for second worst in the league. Sacramento is 18-6 OVER the total against the Eastern Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers are winners of 12 in a row with a sizzling offense, third in the NBA in scoring. Dwyane Wade has agreed to come off the bench while LeBron James collected 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists in a 113-91 drubbing at Chicago on Monday. He shot 9-of-15 from the field to raise his shooting percentage to .584. Cleveland's defense, though, is not strong at #23 in points allowed, #20 in field goal shooting 'D' and #21 at defending the three. The Cavs are on an 18-7-1 run OVER the total at home, as well as 34-16-1 when playing on one day of rest. Play the OVER.
