Since Jan. 4, the Nets are a league-worst 1-8. They'll look to turn their season around Wednesday night in Sacramento when they face a Kings team that has lost four in a row.
AccuScore has the Kings chances to win at 54.4 percent, significantly lower than the 69 percent chance the books are giving them. The average score after 10,000-plus simulations is 101-98 and there's about a 53 percent chance the total combined score goes OVER 196.5.
With neither the side nor the total providing a strong play, bettors should instead look at the spread.
AccuScore Best Bet: There's about a 61 percent chance Brooklyn covers a +6 spread, a four-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend. Brooklyn is 5-1 ATS in its last six games when playing Sacramento. In the past week, when the home team is favored by 4-5.5 points, AccuScore is 4-0 picking on the spread.
AccuScore Box Score: Sacramento averaged four more steals than Brooklyn in simulations.
