Surging Cavaliers Favorites to Beat Kings
Kings vs Cavaliers Lines
The Cleveland Cavaliers are the hottest team in the NBA and their winning streak could continue against the Kings on Monday.
The Kings vs Cavaliers lines have the home side at -5.5, which is a fair line given their recent form. However, the Kings have also been playing excellent basketball.
It could come down to the final quarter in a tense battle.

Kings Enjoying Road Trip
Playing six consecutive road games isn’t easy, but the Kings are currently 4-1 on the trip.
It has been impressive play, including consecutive wins at Indiana and Chicago, which are never easy victories.
The Kings have a positive 29-19 record overall and 27-21-1 against the spread, so the future is bright for the team led by De’Aaron Fox.
He has been brilliant so far, including 27.5 points per game. Fox is one of the best natural scorers in the NBA, and couple that with the steady Domantas Sabonis, the Kings are tough to play against.
Their recent NBA results are testament to that, so bettors getting a +5.5 line for the Kings could be overly generous.
They enjoy covering spreads on the road with a 16-9-1 ATS road record, so bettors shouldn’t have any worries about that.
Fox comes off a 41-point scoring effort, and Sabonis scored his 14th triple-double and 31st consecutive double-double.
“For him to do that 31 times in a row is another reason why we’re winning right now,” Malin Monk said, “because he draws a lot of attention, and he’s not selfish, either. I think that’s just him playing the game, knowing the game, being a vet and not forcing anything.”
Cavaliers Riding High
Winning five consecutive games isn’t easy, and it’s reflected with Kings vs Cavaliers lines.
The home side is being respected by the sportsbook given their recent wins over the Spurs, Grizzlies, Pistons, and Clippers.
Our only worry is that their last three wins have come against terrible teams, but all they can do is win, so that can’t be held against them.
Our betting odds calculator has the Cavaliers favored to win, but covering a 5.5-point spread isn’t easy to do against top tier teams.
Of the NBA games today, this one is the most intriguing. The Cavaliers have risen up the Eastern Conference rankings, and they are now just one game behind the Milwaukee Bucks, whom they defeated 112-100 last week.
That was an excellent performance, and bettors have been cashing in. They are 25-22 ATS overall, and they are 17-8 overall at home.
Playing at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse is a big advantage, and it could be enough to see them cover the Kings vs Cavaliers lines.
Kings to Keep it Close
We respect both teams in this game, and it could come down to which team makes shots in the final quarter.
Because we think it will be close, we’re taking the Kings to cover the +5.5 spread, which is overly generous.
It’s not easy to stay positive at the end of such a long road trip, but coming off consecutive wins should have their confidence levels high.
The Kings won 132-100 in the first meeting, so that’s another confidence-boosting win.
Under 231 is being included in our NBA picks. It could be a tough defensive battle, so expect a low scoring contest on Monday.
