The Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers meet Monday in NBA preseason action at the Moda Center. The Sacramento Kings look for another win to improve to 3-0 in the preseason. The Portland Trail Blazers look for a win after losing their preseason opener to the Warriors.

The Sacramento Kings have won seven of their last nine preseason games. The Sacramento Kings are averaging 115 points on 46.1 percent shooting and allowing 102 points on 42.3 percent shooting. De’Aaron Fox is averaging 14.5 points and five rebounds, while Harrison Barnes is averaging 14.5 points and five rebounds. Buddy Hield is the third double-digit scorer and Marvin Bagley III is grabbing 4.5 rebounds. The Sacramento Kings are shooting 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 66.7 percent from the free throw line. The Sacramento Kings are allowing 28.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 50.5 rebounds per game.

The Portland Trail Blazers have lost four straight preseason games. The Portland Trail Blazers are averaging 107 points on 44.6 percent shooting and allowing 121 points on 42 percent shooting. Damian Lillard is averaging 19 points and two assists, while Jusuf Nurkic is averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds. Norman Powell is the third double-digit scorer and CJ McCollum is dishing two assists. The Portland Trail Blazers are shooting 42.1 percent from beyond the arc and 77.3 percent from the free throw line. The Portland Trail Blazers are allowing 34.8 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 53 rebounds per game.

This is a thick line to lay with a road team in a meaningless preseason game, but the Kings have had a ton of preseason success over the years, and they’ve looked sharp in limited action this year. Lillard and McCollum have already been ruled out for the Trail Blazers, so the home team will be dealing with a thin roster. Steep line, but it’s Kings or nothing in my eyes.
