Sacramento at San Antonio

There is a reason why this line has been pounded down from +9 to its opening down to +7.5 now. The last 2 games these teams have played has been decided by a total of 4 points - both times the Kings have been on the losing end, but the most recent time, they lost by just a point with their new addition in Artest. The Kings were embarassed last night at Dallas - no two ways about it as their defense was exposed in which Bonzi Wells even noted that if they don't step on the defensive end. They are close to giving up their 8th seed to New Orleans who is right on their heels for the last spot out west. Thus, given that the Kings are 5-0-1 ATS when giving up more than a 100 points their previous game as well as the Spurs playing relatively low scoring games on their home court, I like the points here with the Kings who look to redeem themselves after a terrible night last night. They want to show they are a better team than that, have a double revenge angle, and look to keep their hold on their playoff spot.
