pick: sac kings ml -120
ANALYSIS: The Nets will be shorthanded again as Kyrie Irving is still out due to suspension, while Yuta Watanabe and Ben Simmons are both questionable. The Kings have opened as minor favorites in this one which is no surprise given how well they’ve been playing lately and I think that will continue here.
