Lakers and the Sacramento Kings has been a storied one in the NBA. As two of the top teams in the Western Conference, their matchups always draw attention and excitement from fans.
Heading into their next game, the odds are heavily favoring the Lakers. With a star-studded lineup including LeBron James and Anthony Davis, they have been dominant on both ends of the court. The Kings, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistency this season.
Utah Jazz, meaning the worst-case scenario for this team would probably still net them an opportunity to sneak into the playoffs.
On the other side of this matchup, the Sacramento Kings are looking to avoid the play-in tourney as well. The Kings currently sit in the Western Conference's 7th-seed, but are just two games away from the 5-seed New Orleans Pelicans. There's certainly a lot that could go right or wrong for both teams, but a win tonight would certainly be a big step in the former's direction.
D’Angelo Russell need to power the Lakers’ offense both with their shooting and creation for others. The Lakers also need a big night from their bench.
Malik Monk is one of the best sixth men in the league capable of getting scorching hot if he sees just one ball go through the hoop. Whether it is Taurean Prince, Spencer Dinwiddie, Cam Reddish or someone else, the Lakers need their reserves to step up and make an impact.
Odds Shark claims that the game will go against the spread with the Kings winning with an expected score of 119 to 118.3. Not only does Odds Shark believe the Kings will win though, but they also claim the game will go under the projected total. They point out that the Kings are 4-1 in their last five against Western Conference opponents, and with Anthony Davis possibly not at 100% for the contest, the Kings are looking good.
