My selection is on Sacramento minus the points over Brooklyn at 10:05 pm et on Tuesday.

We won with the Kings in a rout of the Bulls on Sunday and I won't hesitate to go back to the well with the same play here as Sacramento hosts Brooklyn. The Nets have gone 0-3 on their current road trip, albeit against some tough opposition. While Brooklyn is coming off an ATS cover against the Clippers, it's worth noting that it hasn't notched back-to-back ATS wins since February 23rd and 25th. The Kings enter this game ranked tied for third in the NBA in pace rating over their last five games. While the Nets aren't far behind sitting seventh, the Kings have been making more of their opportunities, ranking 14th in offensive rating over that same stretch while the Nets rank 28th. Brooklyn sits well ahead of Sacramento in defensive rating but that's largely due to an outlier against the Pistons in which it gave up just 75 points last week. The Nets took the first meeting in this series this season by a whopping 29 points but the Kings had won consecutive meetings prior to that. Take Sacramento (10*).
