The set-up: I'm expecting a very defensive affair between two teams desperate for a victory. The Kings are 8-12 and the Spurs are 8-14. The Kings have lost four of their last five, behind a 19th ranked defense and a 23rd ranked offense. San Antonio is likely to be without one of its main scoring options in big man LaMarcus Aldridge, which puts even more pressure on an already stretched thin DeMar DeRozan.

The pick: Note that the Kings have seen the total dip under in five of their last six following a road loss, while San Antonio has seen the total go under in four of its last five as a home dog. Expect a hard-nosed defensive affair and play the under.

10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the UNDER Kings/Spurs.
