Our Sacramento Kings vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
After a very impressive early season, the Kings have begun to cool at a rate recently and looked very off-color against the Suns in their last match. While the Pacers have struggled on defense this term, they are still the highest-scoring team in the league, and the relatively hefty line looks too good to pass up for a side that are putting up over 120 points per match with regularity. Our Sacramento Kings vs Indiana Pacers prediction: Indiana Pacers +7.5.
