Sacramento Kings hit the road to face Cleveland Cavaliers. The Kings continue to play well and could challenge for the playoffs in 2022. The Cleveland Cavaliers have leaped, one for which they have to thank Donovan Mitchell, who has made all the difference for the Cavaliers.
The combination of Mitchell and Darius Garland has given teams fits and caused match-up problems all over the court. With Donovan Mitchell banged up heading into this contest, can the Sacramento Kings steal a game on the road, or will the Cleveland Cavaliers continue to dominate at home?

Sacramento Kings vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Prediction
The Sacramento Kings and Cleveland Cavaliers are two teams that have reversed their fortunes in 2022. The Sacramento Kings have a balanced attack on the perimeter, with De'Aaron Fox breaking down the defense and kicking the ball to scoring threats like Kevin Huerter.
The Cleveland Cavaliers can break you down off the dribble while having the bigs in the middle that cause havoc for the opposition. If we knew that Donovan Mitchell was 100%, that would be one thing. With Mitchell questionable, I am inclined to take the Kings and the points.
Prediction: Sacramento Kings +6 (-110)
