Grizzlies vs Kings Prediction
The Kings are still missing Keegan Murray and Maxime Raynaud, while the Grizzlies have ruled out Quinten Post, with Scotty Pippen Jr. and Ty Jerome both listed as questionable. These teams last met on Sunday, and it was the Grizzlies who rolled to a 123-112 road win behind 31 points from Ty Jerome, who is questionable for this meeting.
The line seems hefty, but the Kings are just awful right now, and I think the Grizzlies have enough depth to cover even if they are short-handed here. Give me the Grizzlies to continue their perfect start with another comfortable win over the Kings.
Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
The Sacramento Kings are still searching for their first win of the season, and they are now on a five-game losing streak after getting routed by the Pelicans in a 132-120 road defeat on Thursday. Darius Acuff Jr. led the team with 34 points, six rebounds, and 14 assists; De’Andre Hunter and Precious Achiuwa each scored 24 points, while Zach LaVine chipped in with 21 points and five assists.
As a team, the Kings shot 52 percent from the field and 12 of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start on offense to keep the game relatively close, but their issues were on the defensive end as they allowed the Pelicans to shoot almost 60 percent from the field for the game and were always fighting an uphill battle after leaking 39 points in the second and third quarters.
