Philadelphia 76ers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
I don’t want to back the 76ers as much as the next guy, as this team is banged up and riding the struggle bus overall. However, the 76ers are fighting for play-in seeding and you don’t get the gift of playing the Kings often. Sure, the Kings have shown signs of life over the last week but they’re still the Kings. Possibly the most dysfunctional team in all of sports. If the 76ers can’t win this game, what game can they win? It would also be a sign that they’ll eventually fall to the 10th seed and put their playoff hopes on life support. I’ll lay the points with Philly.
