Kings vs. Jazz prediction and odds for Monday, March 20 (Can Kings win fourth straight?)

The Sacramento Kings are in a battle for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference with the Memphis Grizzlies, and both teams play on Monday night.

Sacramento is on the road against the Utah Jazz, but the Kings have thrived in this spot as road favorites.

Utah could be down several key players with Lauri Markkanen listed as questionable and Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton already ruled out.

The Kings keep on winning, beating the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls on this road trip. Can they finish it off with another win?

Here’s a look at the odds and a best bet for this game:

Kings vs. Jazz prediction and pick

There are trends that support both teams in this spot.

The Kings are 12-5 against the spread as road favorites, one of the best marks in the NBA this season, but the Jazz are an impressive 9-1 ATS as home underdogs.

Still, I like the Kings to win this game, and I actually bet them in a moneyline parlay with the Philadelphia 76ers.

I’ll lean with the Kings to cover as well, as a potential Markkanen absence would severely limit Utah’s ceiling in this game.

Sacramento and Utah are 24th and 25th in the league in defensive rating, but the Kings slightly edge the Jazz out on offense (No. 1 vs. No. 6). I think that is the difference in this game with Clarkson and Sexton out.
