Stephen Nover's NBA Sunday Spread Crusher
(NBA) Utah vs. Sacramento, 03/05/2017 1:00 PM, Score: 110 - 109
Point Spread: 9.50 | -110.00 Sacramento (Home)
Result: Win
This isn't the best of spots for the Jazz. They beat the Nets at home by 15 points this past Friday and host the Pelicans on Monday. It's easy for them to look past the rebuilding Kings.

Sacramento should prove dangerous here, though. The Kings have been idle for three days. That not only has given them some much needed rest time, but also a chance to get more in sync following the trade of DeMarcus Cousins. Sacramento has covered the past seven times following having three days rest.

The Kings were embarrassed at home in their last game, a 109-100 loss to the Nets this past Wednesday. Shooting guard Aarron Affalo returned in that game after missing the previous three games with a hamstring injury.

Utah could be short-handed in the backcourt if Rodney Hood has to miss a third consecutive game. The Jazz have failed to cover in 17 of their last 21 Western Conference games and are overpriced here.
