Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers Odds
Sacramento Kings Team News
The Sacramento Kings entered the new season very well. In the first match, they beat the Utah Jazz 130:114. in the next game they lost to the Golden State Warriors with 122:114. Those two matches are an indication that the Sacramento Kings will not change course much compared to last season.
The previous period was historic with this team. After 17 long years, the period in which the Sacramento Kings were not part of the playoffs has ended. In it, they put up strong resistance against the favored Golden State Warriors and were eventually eliminated 4:3. All in all, last season was a successful one for Mike Brown’s team, who played highly offensive basketball that was pleasing to the eye. That will be the case this time as well, is proven by the 244 points scored in two matches of the new NBA season. The flow of the ball will be one of the most important elements in this team’s game this time as well. So far, De’ Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis have stood out the most, although Harrison Barnes also had a great game against the Utah Jazz, scoring 33 points.
What the Sacramento Kings need to improve is their defensive play. Not drastically, but so much so that they can again make a big difference in the ratio of wins and losses at the end of the league part of the season. If they use the recipe from the past period, the upcoming period will be equally successful for them.
Los Angeles Lakers
After a 119:107 loss against the Denver Nuggets, in a game in which they were disappointing, despite the announcements that they are entering the new season very motivated, the Los Angeles Lakers managed to redeem themselves against the Phoenix Suns and beat them 100:95.
It was a significantly different game than the first against the current NBA champion. Unlike the duel against the Denver Nuggets, in which the Nikola Jokic-Jamal Murray tandem did whatever they wanted in the attack, this time the Los Angeles Lakers did not allow their rival to express their full offensive potential. Hence, the 95 points received is very good news for Darwin Ham’s team, which has found a guide on how to play, if it wants to achieve serious results. Anthony Davis scored 30 points and LeBron James 21, which once again emphasized which two players are the real leaders of the team.
Only five of 29 three-point shots were hit by the Los Angeles Lakers. This is by no means a good sign. They were lucky to force the rival into 20 turnovers, which gave them easy points. That won’t be the case every time, which is why Hamm’s team needs to work on better shooting percentages.

Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Considering the kind of offensive basketball the Sacramento Kings play, it is hard to expect that they can be stopped below 110 points. At the same time, the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t going to shoot 5/29 for three every night, so we suggest that this game’s point total will be higher than the offered limit.
