NBA Tuesday Preview and Free Pick - Sacramento Kings at Los Angeles Lakers



Free pick and preview for the Tuesday NBA matchup between the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers.

A look at the Kings-Lakers matchup at the Staples Center on Tuesday night

The backend of a NBA TV Tuesday night double header of betting action at VietBet features a West Coast clash between the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers in a 10:30 p.m. (ET) tip at the Staples Center. VietBet has opened the Kings as slight one-point road favorites and the betting line for the total has been set at 218.5.

The Kings have strung together three victories both straight-up and against the spread in their last three outings. They could match their longest SU winning streak of the season with another victory on Tuesday night. The total stayed UNDER 213 points in Sunday's 105-99 win at home against New Orleans as four-point favorites. It has stayed UNDER in five of their last seven games.

Sacramento Kings previewDeMarcus Cousins led the way in that game with 28 points and 14 rebounds. He continues to lead the team in scoring with an average of 27.8 points a game and he is also at the top of the list in rebounds (10.7) and assists (4.8). The loss of Rudy Gay's 18.7 PPG now that he is done for the season with a bad Achilles has already put some added pressure on a team that is tied for 21st in the league in scoring with an average of 103.4 points.

The betting line has held at many sportsbooks since the opening odds were posted, and the current NBA basketball betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated Vietbet have the game as a PICK!

Sacramento Kings (-1) -110
LA Lakers              (+1) -110

Over 218.5 points (-110)
Under 218.5 points (-110)

Los Angeles is coming off a rare road win with last Friday's 122-114 victory at Milwaukee as a six-point underdog with VietBet. This was the Lakers second SU win in their last three games and they are now a profitable 7-1 ATS in their last eight outings. The total went OVER 217 points against the Bucks and it has gone OVER in five of their last six games.

LA Lakers free pickNick Young had the hot hand in Friday's win with a team-high 26 points and Lou Williams added 21 points off the bench. Williams continues to lead Los Angeles in scoring with 18.4 PPG on a roster that boasts five players with an average of at least 13 points a game. The Lakers are 18th in the NBA in scoring with an average of 104.7 PPG, but they fall all the way to 27th in the league when it comes to points allowed (110.5).

I actually like the Lakers at home on Tuesday night, but my "best bet" pick for this Pacific Division tilt is the UNDER on VietBet's 218.5-point total line. It has already stayed UNDER in two previous meetings this season.
