With the Sacramento Kings off to their best start in 17 years and the San Antonio Spurs struggling on both ends of the court, taking the under on the total score of 245 is a smart bet. 

The Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs are set to face off on Sunday in Texas, and the game has the potential to be a lopsided affair. The Kings have won their last three games and are off to their best start in 17 years, while the Spurs have been having a difficult time on both offense and defense.

The Kings have been lethal on offense this season, with the highest scoring average in the league. In their last game against the Rockets on Friday, they shot 54.7 percent from the field and made 20 of their 40 attempts from three-point range. Harrison Barnes led the way with 27 points, and Domantas Sabonis recorded a triple-double with 19 points, 15 rebounds, and a career-high 16 assists.

Meanwhile, the Spurs have been struggling on both sides of the ball. They are currently the worst defensive team in the league, allowing an average of 115.2 points per game. On the offensive end, they are not faring much better, averaging 109.4 points per game and shooting just 43.3 percent from the field.

Given the teams' respective performances, it is likely that the total score of the game will be under 245. The Kings have been one of the most impressive teams in the league this season and should have no trouble dispatching of a struggling Spurs team. The Spurs have been unable to keep up with the league’s top teams, and the Kings should be able to take advantage of their weak defense and put up a lot of points. At the same time, the Spurs’ poor offensive performance suggests that they will be unable to keep up with the Kings’ high-powered offense.

In conclusion, it appears that taking the under on the total score of 245 is a smart move. The Kings have been one of the best teams in the league this season, while the Spurs have been struggling on both ends of the court. The Kings beat the Houston Rockets 139-114 on Friday and shot 54.7 percent from the field, making 20 of their 40 attempts from three-point range. Harrison Barnes scored 27 points in the game. Meanwhile, the Spurs have allowed an average of 115.2 points per game and have put up an average of 109.4 points per game while shooting just 43.3 percent from the field. Given the two teams' performances, it is likely that the total score will be under 245.
