Sacramento Kings vs Toronto Raptors Prediction NBA Picks 11/2/24

The Toronto Raptors play host to the Sacramento Kings at the Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night. Here’s a Sacramento Kings vs Toronto Raptors Prediction. This article will include a Sacramento Kings vs Toronto Raptors Pick.

The Sacramento Kings are starting to heat up as they are now aiming for a fourth straight victory after outlasting the Hawks in a 123-115 road win last night. De’Aaron Fox led the team with 31 points, seven rebounds, and four steals, DeMar DeRozan added 27 points with eight rebounds and three steals while Domantas Sabonis tallied 15 points with 14 rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Kings shot 48 percent from the field and 11 of 33 from the 3-point line as they hit the ground running with 69 points in the first half to build an 18-point lead, which proved to be just enough to hold off the Hawks who cut the lead to just three points with 3:44 left in the fourth quarter. The Kings will play against the Heat following this game.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have really been struggling as they’ve lost five of their first six games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a four-game slide after falling just short to the Lakers in a 131-125 loss last night. RJ Barrett led the team with 33 points and 12 assists on 14 of 22 shooting, Gradey Dick added 31 points on 13 of 26 shooting while Jakob Poeltl chipped in with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists. As a team, the Raptors shot 48 percent from the field and 10 of 35 from the 3-point line as they got off to a horror start and found themselves trailing by 43-19 after the first quarter. It would’ve been easy for the Raptors to roll over, but they responded with 74 points in the second half to make things interesting in the final minutes of the game. The Raptors will meet the Nuggets after this one.

The Kings don’t have a single player listed on the injury report, while the Raptors are still missing Scottie Barnes, Kelly Olynyk, and Immanuel Quickley. The Raptors showed plenty of fight against the Lakers last night despite falling into that early deficit, but they are still banged up and only have one win from their first six games. The Kings are playing this one on zero days’ rest, but they are fully healthy and they looked great in their win over the Hawks last night. I might have been tempted to take the Raptors if the line was higher, but with the line at two possessions, I am happy to go with the Kings to get another win and cover on the road.
