Phoenix Suns vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Sacramento Kings are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home with the rest advantage. The Kings also just beat the Suns a few days ago on the road. The Suns are also dealing with injuries. However, this is a lot of points to give a Suns side that’s won 8 of its last 9 games and is firing on all cylinders offensively. Even without Durant, there’s enough here for the Suns to beat anybody. The Kings also have some ugly recent losses to the Spurs and Clippers. Give me the Suns and the points.
