Kings Get Two Full Touchdowns in San Antonio Preseason Tune-Up

Fourteen and a half points in a preseason game? The oddsmakers have lost their minds, and we're here to collect. Sure, San Antonio put up gaudy numbers last season—119.8 points per game with Wembanyama orchestrating chaos—but this is October basketball where rotations get weird and starters clock out after 20 minutes. Victor's not playing 35 tonight, folks.

Sacramento limps into the AT&T Center with a laundry list of rest designations, but let's be honest: they've still got NBA players. If Keegan Murray, Domantas Sabonis, or new addition Zach LaVine see even modest run, they're talented enough to keep this respectable. Meanwhile, the Spurs are dealing with their own depth chart issues—Tobias Harris is nursing a calf, and Keldon Johnson, Luke Kornet, and Julian Champagnie are all resting. Good luck covering 14.5 when your third unit is playing the fourth quarter.

History screams that laying double digits in preseason is a sucker's errand. Once the stars sit and the clipboard guys take over, weird things happen. The Kings' offensive efficiency (109.6) isn't elite, but it doesn't need to be when you're getting two touchdowns of cushion. Take Sacramento +14.5 and sleep easy knowing you're on the right side of October variance.
