Friday, Dec. 30's NBA schedule includes a battle at Golden 1 Center as the Sacramento Kings (18-15) are set to go one-on-one with the Utah Jazz (19-18).

The Kings aim to win their second game in a row after picking up a 127-126 win over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Jazz hope to put an end to their two-game skid, most recently falling 112-107 to the Golden State Warriors two nights ago.

Kings vs. Jazz Prediction & Pick

The only reason why the Jazz aren't further down in the standings is due to their 12-5 record at home. They've been terrible on the road lately, losing eight of their last nine away games while surrendering 119.1 PPG. The Jazz also own a minus-7.4 scoring margin in that span and must now face the Kings, who are a plus-6.6 in their last 14 home games (with a 10-4 straight-up record).

The Kings also capitalize when the odds are in their favor, winning 12 of their previous 15 games as the favorite. While the Jazz are 12-10 straight up as the underdog this season, their issues on the road are too big to be ignored. For losing to the lowly San Antonio Spurs and short-handed Warriors, I just can't trust Utah pulling off another upset tonight.

Look to the skies as the Kings light the beam (yet again).

Final Score Prediction: Kings: 127 | Jazz: 118

Kings vs. Jazz Best Bet

Kings fans have loved just how easily Domantas Sabonis has been dominating the paint lately. On top of his NBA-leading 12.3 rebounds per game, the two-time All-Star is averaging a whopping 15.5 boards in his last 11 games.

Even with his rebounding total for the night sitting at 13.5, Sabonis won't have an issue surpassing that number. Not only has he gone over 13.5 rebounds in four of his last six games, but he has the pleasure of facing the Jazz, who allow the most rebounds to centers this season.

Looking to stay hot heading into 2023, expect Sabonis to have another big night at the glass.

Bet: Domantas Sabonis — Rebounds: Over 13.5 (-113)
