Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Clippers Picks, Prediction, Odds, and Line Movement for Saturday March 14 2026
Use Code WWWC The NBA's West Coast slate closes Saturday night with Sacramento making the trip down to Los Angeles to face the Clippers at Crypto.com Arena. The Clippers have won the last six head-to-head meetings, but are only 3-3 ATS in those games.
Kings don't seem to care
Sacramento comes in at 16-51 on the season, and the losses have piled up in ugly fashion. The Kings are 5-28 on the road, which tells you just about everything you need to know about their chances tonight. Offensively, Sacramento is averaging 110.6 points per game (29th in the league) while shooting just 33.5% from three (30th). Their defense isn't doing them any favors either, surrendering 120.9 points per game.
What makes this situation even grimmer is the injury report. Domantas Sabonis is done for the season with a back injury, Zach LaVine is out with a finger injury, and Kevin Murray is sidelined with an ankle problem. De'Andre Hunter is lost for the year with an eye injury, and both Malik Monk and D. Carter are day-to-day. Without De'Aaron Fox in the fold either, this is a Sacramento team playing out the string with essentially a G-League roster. They're 4-6 in their last 10 and have covered just 4 of those games against the spread.
Clippers still in playoff hunt
The Clippers are sitting at 34-32, comfortably in the play-in the Pacific and with real motivation to keep stacking wins as they fight for seeding. At home, they're 19-13 , a reliable number that matters when laying double digits. Los Angeles comes in riding strong recent form, going 7-3 in their last 10 and covering at the same clip (7-3 ATS). Offensively, they're averaging 113.4 points per game and rank 7th in the league from three at 36.5%. Defensively, they're 10th in points allowed at 112.6 per game.

Kawhi Leonard is the unquestioned engine here, averaging 28.3 points and 2.0 steals per game, with Isaiah Jackson making his presence felt in a big way inside. The Clippers do have their own injury concerns including Darius Garland (toe) and John Collins (arm) are both out. But this roster still has enough around Kawhi to handle a thoroughly depleted Sacramento squad. L.A.'s home ATS mark of 17-15 is solid, and they own a 36-30-0 record ATS overall. The Clippers have also won six straight head-to-head meetings against Sacramento.
Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction
Kings vs Clippers ATS:
- Kings +13.5 (4 units)
Fading a team this short-handed on the road is the easy call, but 13.5 is still a number that requires the Clippers to show up and play with purpose for 48 minutes. Sacramento is 3-3 ATS in their last six head-to-head matchups with L.A. despite losing all six outright, which tells you the Kings have at least kept it in the window. With a makeshift rotation and nothing to play for, backdoor covers happen. The road ATS record of 12-20-1 isn't great, but Sacramento has shown they're capable of keeping it competitive in spurts even in lopsided losses. Fade the blowout. Take the points.
Kings vs Clippers Total:
- Over 230 (4 units)
The Clippers rank 1st in the league in free throw percentage at 83.2%, meaning they get to the line and they convert. Sacramento's defense is among the worst in the league, giving up 120.9 points per game and ranking 29th in opponent FG%. The Kings can score in spots too, and with minimal defensive resistance expected on either end, there's a clear path to this game climbing into the 230s. L.A. has enough offensive firepower to push this over the number on their own even if Sacramento's depleted lineup slows the pace on their end.
