(NBA) Sacramento vs. Detroit, 01/04/2015 1:00 PM, Score: 95 - 114
Point Spread: 2.50 | 100.00 Sacramento (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Sacramento Kings.

While I obviously feel that the outright win isn't out of the question here, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I expect the visitors to at the very least, sneak in through the back door in what should be a highly competitive affair. The Pistons have been on quite a roll since waiving Josh Smith, winning four in a row. Detroit hasn't won five in a row in more than five years and suffice it to say, I think the "wheels come off the bus" today. As primarily a situational handicapper, these are exactly the types of games I keep my eyes open for, in my opinion this definitely sets up as a ledown spot for the suddenly over achieving Pistons; and note, it's not hard to imagine Detroit getting caught looking ahead to its lengthy road trip starting against the defending Champions on Tuesday. Sacramento has definitely been struggling, but is coming off a 110-107 victory over the Wolves last time out. However, bettors have been getting killed betting on the Kings of late as the team has failed to cover the spread in 11 straight contests (you may not know, but one angle that I always try to exploit is "lopsided" numbers or trends; this play falls directly into that system). This is also a revenge spot for the Kings after they fell 95-90 to Detroit at home as 5.5 point favorites on December 13th. It's interesting to note that Sacramento is 3-1 ATS this season after playing three or more consecutive road games, while Detroit is a poor 4-12 ATS in front of the home town crowd and just 2-8 ATS when playing the role of favorite. In my opinion, all signs do indeed point to the KINGS as the sharp move in this one.
