Powered by their new star duo Rui Hachimura and Darius Garland, the Los Angeles Clippers are out to destroy a 4.5-point handicap in their season opener against the Sacramento Kings.
Current Form:
The Los Angeles Clippers ushered in a new era in their franchise on Wednesday after failing to win a championship with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on board. The Clippers finished with a 2-1 record in the preseason, winning over the Denver Nuggets 122-110 and the Golden State Warriors 104-101.
The Sacramento Kings have lost all their five preseason games, including a 97-126 beating at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs in the last exhibition game. The Kings also suffered a devastating blow before the season officially starts, as their newly acquired forward Ben Simmons suffered a torn Achilles during practice.
The Matchup: The Clippers have won 7 of their last 10 meetings with the Kings.

Our LA Clippers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Difference Maker: Rui Hachimura stood out for the Clippers during the preseason. The newly acquired power forward scored 21, 14, 16 points in three exhibition games for the Clippers and is looking to have a featured role for the franchise this season.
What to Expect: The Clippers cover -4.5 points against the Kings. With Hachimura and Darius Garland leading the way, the Clippers possess enough firepower to outscore the Kings, who seemed headed for another mediocre season after going 0-5 in the preseason. Expect a big night from Hachimura, who is projected to average a double-double this season.
Fearless Forecast: The Clippers 123, the Kings 113
Our betting prediction for the Los Angeles Clippers vs. the Sacramento Kings: The Clippers -4.5 points
