Sacramento Kings will be looking for their fifth consecutive victory on Thursday evening when they host San Antonio Spurs at Golden 1 Center.
Analysis and Reason for Predictions
San Antonio Spurs will continue their road trip on Thursday evening when they visit Golden 1 Center for the clash against the red-hot Sacramento Kings in the Western Conference showdown.
The Spurs will be hoping to bounce back from successive losses to Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers in the last two matches.
They were close to snatching something out of the affair against the Blazers on Tuesday, although it was a back-to-back game for them.
The Kings had the lead in the fourth quarter but they could not hold on against the crowd and an inspired Damian Lillard on the evening.
We must mention a brilliant performance from center Jacob Poeltl who managed a career-high 31 points, adding 14 rebounds and 5 assists in his best performance ever.
Sacramento Kings are one of the hottest teams in the league right now. They bagged an incredible 153 points in the drubbing of Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday evening to make it four wins on the bounce.
Mike Brown is doing miracles with this group of players as the Kings jumped to the sky-high second place in the league in offensive ratings.
Sacramento score 116.5 points per game this term as only Boston Celtics have bettered that so far in the season.
Knowing that the Spurs are third from bottom in the league’s defensive ratings, we have reasons to expect the hosts to shine offensively once again on Thursday.
Sacramento had seven double-digit players, including Terence Davis with 31 points, De Aaron Fox with 9 assists, and Domantas Sabonis with 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists.
Sacramento are firing on all cylinders these days. They are scoring for fun and they will go into this on the back of four subsequent victories despite playing the likes of Golden State Warriors and Brooklyn Nets in the last two outings in the process. We will back the Kings to win in -3.5 points spread at the -110 odds, while you can also take the Over 226.5 points pick at the same -110 odds.
