The Brooklyn Nets play host to the Sacramento Kings at the Barclays Center on Monday night. Here’s a Sacramento Kings vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Sacramento Kings vs Brooklyn Nets Pick.

Sacramento Kings 

The Sacramento Kings look to have cooled off a bit recently as they are now hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting scorched by the Knicks in a 143-120 road defeat on Saturday. Malik Monk led the team with 31 points and nine assists, Domantas Sabonis tallied a triple-double of 25 points with 13 rebounds and 12 assists while DeMar DeRozan chipped in with 18 points. As a team, the Kings shot 48 percent from the field and 14 of 36 from the 3-point line as they poured in 42 points in the second quarter to cut into an early 13-point deficit, only to get blown out by 72-53 in the second half as they just had no answer for the Knicks' starters who combined for 123 points.

Brooklyn Nets 

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in a terrible slump as they've lost 11 of their last 12 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a six-game slide after getting beaten by the Heat in a 106-97 loss on Saturday. D'Angelo Russell led the team with 22 points and six assists, Keon Johnson added 22 points with four assists, Nic Claxton added 13 points while Jalen Wilson chipped in with 12 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. As a team, the Nets shot just 37 percent from the field and 14 of 40 from the 3-point line as they struggled from the start, scoring just 17 points in the first quarter to fall behind, only to score 19 points in the third quarter to find themselves trailing by as many as 18 points in this one.

Sacramento Kings vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The Kings are coming into this meeting with a full squad, while the Nets have ruled out Cam Thomas again and they have Ben Simmons listed as questionable for this one. The Kings were on a tear before they ran into an in-form Knicks squad on Saturday, but they will like their chances against this slumping Nets team missing a bunch of players. These teams last met on Nov 24 and it was the Nets who won by 108-103, but so much has changed since then and I think we're about to see a different result. The line is hefty, but I like the Kings to bounce back with a big win against this ice-cold Nets team who will struggle again whether Ben Simmons plays or not.
