Sacramento Kings

The Kings covered just 36 of 82 games in 2025-26, yet one unit on them to win at home every game finished 2.02 units up. Sacramento Kings predictions sit above; the long prices that made it are below.

A bad cover record

Sacramento went 22-60 and covered 36 of 82, 43.9%. Only three NBA teams covered less often, the Golden State Warriors, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Washington Wizards, and the Houston Rockets and Milwaukee Bucks matched it. Home and road covers were identical, 18 of 41 each. The Kings were underdogs 73 times, more than any team bar Washington and the Brooklyn Nets, and covered 32 of those.

And a profitable home moneyline

So where is the money in a 15-26 home record? In the price. One unit on the Kings to win at home, over 40 priced games, made 2.02 units; only seven teams did better at home. Houston was beaten twice in Sacramento at +455 and +525, the New York Knicks at +350, Golden State at +380 and the Los Angeles Lakers at +285. On the road the same unit lost 9.7, with a 7-34 record away. One home win sits outside those figures: 117-112 over the Minnesota Timberwolves on 24 November as 9.5-point underdogs, a game with no moneyline posted.

April, the one month in profit

Every month from October to March lost money. April went 3-3, covered five of six and made 8.05 units: a 123-115 win at the Toronto Raptors at +525, 117-113 over the New Orleans Pelicans at +200, and 124-118 over Golden State at +380. The season’s blind unit finished 7.68 down.

The longest price cashed all season was +625: 118-109 at the LA Clippers on 14 March.

The teams met most

The Phoenix Suns won all four meetings and Sacramento covered none. The Portland Trail Blazers also went 4-0, with two Kings covers. Houston split 2-2, and those two Kings wins at long prices made 7.8 units from four games.

The total

Forty-two overs, 40 unders. Sacramento allowed 121.0 points a game, more than all but three teams, but the total still split almost evenly.
