First of all, the line has flipped from about -1? Toronto to now -1 or -1? Sacto.
DeMarcus Cousins was cleared to play tonite and is now probable or even likely.
Secondly, it is clear that with DeMar DeRozan out for a while with his groin injury, that it will be a challenge to juggle the lineup around and find the right combo of players and the right players from the bench. Dwayne Casey (Raps coach) is very very good and the locker room is reported to be very positive. BUT, the fact is that DeRozan attracted a lot of defensive attention and created space for other players. This may take a few games to figure out.
I believe these are the reasons behind the line move and I might add that Rudy Gay has just signed a big new contract with the Kings and probably would like to prove that his trade from Toronto (that resulted in them getting better) was not addition by subtraction.
Another UPDATE: the line has pretty much gone back to a pickem at Pinnacle. :0008
