Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
The Sacramento Kings have gotten off to a slow start as they’ve dropped three of their first four games. They will be hoping for a better result after coming up just short to the Thunder in a 107-101 road defeat last night. Zach LaVine led the team with 23 points on six of 13 shooting, DeMar DeRozan added 19 points, Russell Westbrook tallied 16 points with nine rebounds and four assists while Domantas Sabonis tallied 10 points with 18 rebounds.
As a team, the Kings shot just 42 percent from the field and 10 of 29 from the 3-point line as they got off to an inspired start. They really took it to the Thunder to lead by seven points midway through the fourth quarter, until the Thunder took the game away with a pivotal 11-0 run slip away in the end.
Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls are still undefeated on the season and they are now gunning for a fourth straight win after sneaking past the Hawks in a 128-123 home win on Monday. Ayo Dosunmu led the team with 21 points on seven of 10 shooting off the bench. Josh Giddey tallied 18 points with 13 rebounds and five assists, Nikola Vucevic added 17 points with 17 rebounds and nine assists, while Tre Jones chipped in with 14 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists.
As a team, the Bulls shot 52 percent from the field and 16 of 43 from the 3-point line as they clawed their way back from an early 13-point deficit. They took over with a 41-point burst in the third quarter to come away with the gritty win at home. It was a real balanced scoring effort as the Bulls had a total of eight players finishing in double figures in points.

Bulls vs Kings Prediction
The Kings are still missing Keegan Murray and Nique Cliffort, while the Bulls are still without Zach Collins and Coby White. The Kings have only won one of their first four games, but they were more than competitive in their 107-101 loss to the defending champs last night, as they actually led for most of the game. In contrast, the Bulls have kicked off their season with three wins on the trot and it has been a bunch of role players stepping up.
The Kings are tempting with the points as I like the injection of Westbrook into the starting lineup, but the Bulls are one of the form teams in the league at this early stage of the season. I think they can keep it going with a narrow win and cover at this reasonable line.
