Sacramento Kings vs LA Lakers Prediction

This could be a tough spot for the Lakers, as they’re on the end of a back-to-back and banged up. The Lakers also spent a lot of energy coming back to beat the Suns. Aging roster, the Lakers could find this game difficult against the young, athletic Kings. The Kings have also won 8 of the last 9 games against the Lakers. With all that said, the Lakers are finding ways to win and getting high-level play from AD and LeBron. At home, the Lakers have to view this as a chance to position themselves nicely early in the season. It’s early, but the Lakers have two impressive wins. I’ll lay the bucket.
