Sacramento at Cleveland

Looking at the records of these teams, one would have the sense that Cleveland is the better team. The huge difference is the schedule, as the Cavs have played a lot of bad teams in the Eastern Conference. On the other side, the Kings have to go to battle against so many elite teams in the West. The one thing the Kings have shown is the desire to make more of a concerted effort on the defensive end. The Kings allowed 100+ points in 20 of 24 games, and have since allowed 100+ in 9 of their last 18. The Cavaliers have been one of the NBA's worst teams playing on a day of rest where they are 8-24 ATS in their last 32, while the Kings have been 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven when following an ATS loss. The Kings have owned this arena as they are 6-0 ATS in their last six here. Take Sacramento.
