The Sacramento Kings travel to the Moda Center to battle the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night. Here’s a Kings vs Trail Blazers Prediction.

Sacramento Kings 

The Sacramento Kings have been in pretty good shape as they’ve won six of their last nine games, but they will be looking to bounce back in this one after getting thrashed by the Timberwolves in a 110-98 loss on Saturday. De’Aaron Fox led the team with 27 points and six assists, Keegan Murray added 20 points while Domantas Sabonis tallied a triple-double of 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. As a team, the Kings shot 43 percent from the field and eight of 33 from the 3-point line as they struggled to find their offense early and scored just 20 points in the first quarter to find themselves trailing by 22 points, before they made a late charge to lose by just 12 points in the end.

Anfernee Simons led the team with 25 points, Jerami Grant and Malcolm Brogdon scored 17 points each while Deandre Ayton chipped in with 13 points. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 45 percent from the field and 13 of 35 from the 3-point line as they hit the ground running to jump out to an early 11-point lead, but it was all one-way traffic from that point onwards as the Trail Blazers so just 16 points in the second quarter to have them trailing the rest of the way.

Kings vs Trail Blazers Prediction

The Kings could be shorthanded again with Alex Len and Malik Monk both questionable, while the Trail Blazers have listed Deandre Ayton and Shaedon Sharpe as questionable. The Kings come into this game as the team in better shape as they were on a roll before they met the red-hot Timberwolves on Saturday. The Trail Blazers have been in a rut, they just got blown out by the Warriors and they could be missing some key players here. Give me the Kings to take advantage and escape with the win and cover.
