Sacramento Kings Betting Preview 

The Sacramento Kings have been doing it tough so far this season as they’ve lost 10 of their first 13 games. They will be hoping to arrest a five-game slide after getting routed by the Timberwolves in a 124-110 road defeat on Friday. Domantas Sabonis led the team with 34 points and 11 rebounds on 14 of 24 shooting, Zach LaVine added 25 points on eight of 17 shooting while Russell Westbrook tallied a triple-double of 13 points with 10 rebounds and 14 assists.

As a team, the Kings shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 33 from the 3-point line as they played well through three quarters to keep pace with the Timberwolves until the fourth quarter where they got outscored by 32-19. DeMar DeRozan had a rough night as he finished with just six points on three of 10 shooting in 34 minutes of action while Malik Monk finished scoreless on zero of four shooting.

Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs look to have cooled off a bit recently as they are now looking to avoid a third straight defeat after falling painfully short to the Warriors in a 109-108 loss on Friday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 26 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks on 10 of 21 shooting, De’Aaron Fox added 24 points with 10 assists while Stephon Castle tallied 13 points with nine rebound and six assists.

As a team, the Spurs shot 46 percent from the field and 14 of 38 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to pull away and lead by 10 points in the fourth quarter. Before they went cold and got outscored by 26-16 in the final 7:12 to allow the Warriors to slip away on the back of Curry, who drained the game-winning free throws with 6.1 seconds left on the clock.

Sacramento Kings vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction

The Kings are still keeping an eye on Domantas Sabonis and Precious Achiuwa who are both questionable, while the Spurs are sweating on the availability of Victor Wembenyama who is dealing with left calf tightness. The Kings haven’t been able to build any momentum yet this season, they’ve dropped their last five games and just lost to the Timberwolves despite big games from key players.

The Spurs have been the team in better form despite dropping their last two games to the Warriors, but they were somewhat unlucky not to get the job done against the Warriors on Friday. These teams split four meetings last season, but the Spurs are trending upwards while the Kings are spiralling. The line is short enough, so I will stick with the more reliable Spurs to get the job done at home.
