Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
I don’t want to take the Suns as much as the next guy, as I’ve bashed them all year and they’re 25-40-1 ATS on the season. The Suns often look like a team that has no interest in playing together. With that said, the Kings continue to have issues themselves, and now they’re on the end of a back-to-back without possibly their best player in Sabonis. As bad as the Suns are, they are at home with the rest advantage, and the chance to take a play-in spot from the Mavs is there. If the Suns can’t get up for this one and get a win, stick a fork in this team. It’s that simple. I’ll lay the bucket with the Suns.
