Lakers vs Kings Prediction
The Lakers are coming into this game as a 3.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Neither of these teams have been playing well recently but the Lakers have been playing a bit better than the Kings have been. The Kings have a lot of injuries to some key players and are playing a little short handed also dealing with the firing of their head coach. This is a must win spot for the Lakers, they are the better team with more talent when the Kings are healthy and now they get a weakened Kings team. There is no excuse as to why the Lakers should not be able to cover the spread here. The best bet to place here is on the Lakers to cover the spread.
Lakers Kings Prediction: Our NBA Pick for Tuesday, November 30, 2021 (10:00 pm ET start time) is Lakers 110 Kings 98.
