The Philadelphia 76ers play host to the Sacramento Kings at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a 76ers vs Kings Prediction. This article will include a 76ers vs Kings Pick.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings have been in great form lately as they’ve won 11 of their last 14 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after blowing past the slumping Nets in a 110-96 road win on Monday. De’Aaron Fox led the team with 30 points and seven assists on 11 of 19 shooting, Domantas Sabonis racked up a triple-double of 21 points with 22 rebounds and 10 assists while DeMar DeRozan chipped in with 17 points on seven of 11 shooting. As a team, the Kings shot 54 percent from the field and nine of 28 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sluggish start and trailed for most of the first half, before they clicked into gear and dominated the second half by 63-42 to make it look easy in the end.
Philadelphia 76ers
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers look to have moved on from their ugly seven-game losing streak as they are now aiming for a fourth straight win after routing the Lakers in a 118-104 home win last night. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 43 points on 15 of 26 shooting, Kelly Oubre Jr added 20 points with eight rebounds and five assists while Ricky Council chipped in with 16 points off the bench. As a team, the 76ers shot 47 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line as they came ready to play and exploded for 48 points in the second quarter to turn an early nine-point deficit into a 16-point halftime lead and they just kept their foot on the gas until the lead ballooned to 25 points. The 76ers will meet the Nuggets after this game.
76ers vs Kings Prediction
The Kings are coming in with a full squad once again, while the 76ers will again be without Joel Embiid, Paul George and Andre Drummond to name a few. The Kings come into this one as one of the hottest teams in the league, they have all their key players healthy, but the 76ers loom as a threat as they’ve won their last three games. I might have been tempted to take the 76ers if they weren’t playing their second game of a back to back set, but as it stands, I will lean towards the Kings to get the cover on the road.
