How to make Kings vs. 76ers picks

After 10,000 simulations of Sixers vs. Kings, SportsLine's model is going Over on the total (229.5). The Over has hit in four of the last five Sacramento games, and in three of their last five Philadelphia matchups. Sacramento is 5-5 against the spread in its last 10 games, while the 76ers are 4-6 ATS in their last 10.

The SportsLine model is projecting Sacramento's DeMar DeRozan to score 19.2 points on average and be one of five Kings players to score 14.4 or more points. Philadelphia's Tyrese Maxey, meanwhile, is projected to have 26.7 points as six 76ers players score 11.5 points or more.

It has also generated an against-the-spread pick that hits nearly 70% in simulations. You can head to SportsLine to see the model's NBA picks.
