Sometimes, outcomes don’t make much sense. While the Kings got off to a solid start to the year, they’ve recently faded (from a win-loss perspective: 12-21), but have been average against the spread (17-16). That’s not the crazy part, though, this is:

  • The Kings are 11-3 ATS against teams with winning records and 6-13 ATS against teams with losing records so far this season. 

It’s clear that this Sacramento team enjoys playing as underdogs (they’ve gone 7-13 SU, but 13-7 ATS in that situation), but they’ve risen to the occasion against superior teams. The Clippers are the clear favorites on the road today, but should you write off this scrappy Kings squad?
