That&#8217;s reflected in the huge total of 234.5 and we shouldn&#8217;t expect a lick of defense from these tanking teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spread is -5.5 but we don&#8217;t have to be concerned about a blowout as Sacramento has fully embraced the youth movement with players like Clifford playing huge minutes in lopsided games.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\/nba\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\/nba\">NBA Free Picks and Predictions Today<\/a> at WagerTalk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WagerTalk Live Odds Screen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WagerTalk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/odds?sport=L5&amp;type=4&amp;cb=0.041518762314237456\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">live odds screen<\/a> features up-to-the-minute lines from a variety of offshore and domestic sports books.
