Lakers vs. Kings Props
Out of all the Lakers vs. Kings props listed, this is our favorite:
Russell Westbrook Over 20.5 points (-110)
Westbrook has scored 21 or more points in four of his last five games. He’s averaging 24 points per contest over that stretch, which includes 23 points against this same Kings team on Jan. 7. As you can see above, this contest has an extremely high over/under, so Westbrook should be able to find production within that. Also, the Kings have allowed. the third most points per game to opposing backcourt this season.

Lakers vs. Kings Predictions
The Kings are 2-1 against the Lakers this season, winning both of games by six or more points. At 24-18, Sacramento has been a surprise team this season while currently sitting in first place of the Pacific Division. The Kings have won four in a row while covering each game as a favorite. Sacramento has also gone over the total in five straight outings.
The Lakers have been up and down all season. Most recently, they went on a five-game winning streak, then lost four in a row. Monday’s 140-132 victory over Houston ended that skid.
All three games between the Kings and Lakers have gone over the total this season. These sides scored a combined 234, 264, and 270 points respectively in those contests. So, even though the listed 245.5 total may seem like a shock at first glance, these in-state foes haven’t had a problem blowing past that number. There’s a very good chance it happens again tonight.
The Pick: Over 245.5 total points | -110 at FanDuel Sportsbook
