So the Sacramento Kings won consecutive games over the weekend for the first time since Games 3 and 4 of the season.
The most of NBA fans were shocked to see Sac-Town top the Lakers at the Staples Center and then end the Hornets' 10-game winning streak the following night, but sharp bettors saw this coming.
The Kings are a bad team - we all know that. But they've been playing hard and covering the number in the process. Sacramento is 9-4 against the spread over its last 13 games but the club faces a daunting schedule over the first three weeks of February.
They've got a five-game home stand on deck with the Celtics, Spurs, Jazz, Mavs and Thunder coming to town. My guess is that the Kings' luck will run out on their court. They've been one of the worst home cover teams all season. It's like they need those extra points oddsmakers give them when they're on the road.
I say fade 'em at home and back 'em on the road. What do you guys think?
