Kings vs. Grizzlies, 8 p.m. ET

Choose ATS: Kings +4.5

Sacramento has been able to hang out most of its games this season, and the Grizzlies are coming off of a tough game on Saturday. Take on the Kings to keep things close and cover that line in a battle of two Western Conference playoff prospects.

Over/Under: Over 239

It’s a big number, but both teams are dynamic offensively. The Kings have hit over in their last two and four of their last six games. The Grizzlies have tended to be under the total lately and might have tired legs on the second night of a straight set, but Sacramento should be able to do most of the heavy lifting for the overs to strike again.
