Kings vs Pacers Prediction NBA Picks 2/2/24

The Sacramento Kings and the Indiana Pacers collide at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday night. Here’s a Kings vs Pacers Prediction.

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings have been in decent shape as they were on a four-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the Heat in a 115-106 road defeat on Wednesday. Keegan Murray drained seven 3-pointers to lead the team with 33 points on 12 of 18 shooting, Domantas Sabonis racked up a triple-double of 19 points with 17 rebounds and 13 assists while Kevin Huerter chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Kings shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 40 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to claw their way back from an 18-point deficit, only to go cold in the fourth quarter and allow the Heat off the hook.

Indiana Pacers

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been in a rut as they've lost five of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after falling short to the Knicks in a 109-105 road loss on Thursday. Jalen Smith led the team with 20 points and nine rebounds on nine of 11 shooting off the bench, Pascal Siakam added 18 points with seven rebounds and five assists while Aaron Nesmith chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Pacers shot 45 percent from the field and 13 of 33 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 36 points in the first quarter to take a 15-point lead, but they couldn't hold off the Knicks who took the game away with a decisive 12-0 run in the fourth quarter. The Pacers will play against the Hornets after this game.
