Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction NBA Picks 7/12/24

The Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies meet Friday in summer league NBA action at the Pavilion. Here’s a Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction. This article will include a Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies Pick.

Sacramento Kings Betting Preview

The Sacramento Kings had two teams in the California Classic and appear to have formed one team for Las Vegas by grabbing the best players from both sides. Doug Christie will coach the Kings. The Kings roster includes Drew Timme, Colby Jones, Adonis Arms, Mason Jones and Keon Ellis. Players like Arms and Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. had standout performances in the California Classic and certainly earned their spot on the roster for further evaluation. This Kings roster also includes USC star Boogie Ellis, who was a first-team all-pac-12 selection in 2023. On paper, the Kings are one of the more talented teams in this field.

Memphis Grizzlies Betting Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies are jumping right back into a new summer league tournament after going 1-2 in Salt Lake City. The Memphis Grizzlies are averaging 86.3 points on 39.1 percent shooting and allowing 87.3 points on 40.9 percent shooting. Scotty Pippen, Jr. is averaging 19 points and 1.5 rebounds, while Jake LaRavia is averaging 18 points and 3 assists. GG Jackson is the third double-digit scorer and Cam Spencer is grabbing 5 rebounds. The Memphis Grizzlies are shooting 22.7 percent from beyond the arc and 70.9 percent from the free throw line. The Memphis Grizzlies are allowing 31.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 44 rebounds per game.

Sacramento Kings vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Memphis Grizzlies are getting the benefit of the doubt because they looked good through 3 games and they compete defensively. The problem is the Grizzlies didn’t shoot the ball well, and it’s why they fell short in 2 of the 3 games. The Sacramento Kings are about as talented as you can get for a summer league roster, and if things click, this team could be a lot of fun. There’s value to getting the Kings and free points because of the talent alone. I’ll grab the free bucket with the Kings on Thursday afternoon.
