AccuScore has the Kings as 67.3 percent favorites to win, a prediction that translates into money-line odds of -205. MGM Resorts offers Sacramento at -160, and while the price looks like a bargain based on AccuScore’s projections, some bettors are averse to laying a number this big.

With an average score after 10,000-plus simulations of 106-101, there’s a 52.3 percent chance the total combined score goes OVER 205.5, a 2-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend. The total has gone OVER in eight of Sacramento’s last 11 games.
