Naturally, they turned around and beat the Rockets at home as 14.5-point underdogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I refuse to be reactionary off that one game, though, and I&#8217;ll take a rested Lakers squad on a trimmed-down spread tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prior to Sunday&#8217;s surprise win, Sacramento had lost seven in a row (1-6 ATS) with an average point differential of -22.9 points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Six of the seven losses during that skid came by 14+ points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Build your Lakers vs. Kings SGP at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Los Angeles is coming off back-to-back days off and has covered a -6.5 spread in both prior meetings with Sacramento this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These teams last met on Dec. 28, and the rest situation was the same: two days off for L.A., no rest for Sacramento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lakers won that game by 24 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:122738\">Embed: #122738<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Doncic 8+ assists<\/strong> (-230):<\/strong> The juice indicates that this is a pretty safe play, and the numbers back it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Doncic has cashed this bet in six straight games, as well as 19 of 29 on the season. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s averaging 8.8 APG despite also pacing the league in scoring (33.3 PPG).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Doncic&#8217;s backcourt buddy, Austin Reaves, has missed extended time this year.

But he&#8217;s been surprisingly active from 3-point land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the season, the 37-year-old is putting up 5.5 attempted 3s per night \u2014 the third-highest mark of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s 20-19 vs. this prop and has hit 5-of-11 threes across a pair of matchups vs. the Lakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Westbrook is on a 3-point shooting binge right now, averaging 7.2 attempts over his past 11 games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s 6-5 vs. this milestone in that span and made at least one triple in each of those games.
