Why the Kings could cover the spread
The Kings also experienced a significant loss on Saturday, falling 121-91 to the Orlando Magic. DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points, and Domantas Sabonis recorded a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds. However, Sacramento struggled from beyond the arc, making only 7 of 28 three-point attempts, and committed 16 turnovers.
Having lost five of their last six games, the Kings are trying to stay ahead of the Phoenix Suns for the last play-in tournament spot in the Western Conference. Despite their recent struggles, the Kings have a 23-20 record since Doug Christie took over as interim head coach following Mike Brown`s departure. For Monday`s game, the Pacers will be without Myles Turner (illness) and Bennedict Mathurin (calf). See SportsLine for team picks.
