Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Lakers have been in great form as they’ve won six of their first eight games and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after making light work of the Heat in a 138-117 home win on Monday. Luka Doncic continued his red-hot form with a game-high 42 points with seven rebounds and 13 assists, Austin Reaves added 24 points on 10 of 15 shooting while Walker Kessler tallied 15 points wi th 15 rebounds. As a team, the Lakers shot a sizzling 57 percent from the field and 19 of 43 from the 3-point line as they hit the ground running with 79 points in the first half before they went on another run in the third quarter to put the game to bed early.
Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings weren’t looking good at all during their six-game losing streak, but they will be feeling much better after taking down the Mavericks in a 115-100 road win on Monday. Darius Acuff Jr led the team with 25 points and six assists on 10 of 21 shooting, Malik Monk added 24 points with seven assists off the bench while Zach LaVine scored 23 points on eight of 14 shooting. As a team, the Kings shot 52 percent from the field and an efficient 19 of 43 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Mavericks in a tightly contested first half, but it was all one-way traffic in favor of the Kings once they claimed the lead late in the third quarter. Domantas Sabonis had a quiet game of just nine points while De’Andre Hunter scored just six points on three of 13 shooting.
Los Angeles v Sacramento Free Prediction
The Lakers are still missing Adou Thiero, while the Kings have ruled out Keegan Murray, Ben Simmons and Maxime Raynaud. The Kings were able to put it all together in a nice upset win over the Mavericks in their last outing thanks to big games from Acuff Jr and Monk, but I don’t see them replicating that success against the red-hot Lakers with Doncic leading the way. The Lakers have won four of the last five meetings against the Kings and I expect that trend to continue as the Lakers should have way too much firepower for this Kings squad in this meeting. Give me the Lakers to start strong and cruise their way to a comfortable win and cover on the road.
