Game Totals Pick
Over 238.0(-110)

The Sacramento Kings will be welcoming a Miami Heat team who will be on the second night of a back-to-back after they suffered a 135-112 loss at the hands of the Golden State Warriors. We could see another high scoring game here as the visitors have been leading the league in pace over the last 10 games. The Kings should look to push the pace too with their opponents being fatigued, which should help ensure there are no shortage of possessions for both sides. With the teams also 19th and 23rd in defensive rating during that stretch of games, neither seems capable of generating stops.

The Kings have seen Domantas Sabonis return to the lineup. While they are easing him back off the bench, it should help their second unit pack a strong scoring punch. Just in their last game his screen setting ability helped Malik Monk go off for 23 points. With Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan carrying the scoring for the starters, the Kings should be more than capable of doing their part for the over. They did score 127 points when the sides met last season too. The Kings have, however, allowed the most points in the paint over the last 10 games so look for the Heat to have success finishing efficiently tonight. Do not be surprised to see the total clear the 240-point mark on Tuesday.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
