The Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings meet Monday in the NBA action at the Golden 1 Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a 76ers vs Kings prediction.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers have been in decent shape as they’ve split their last eight games overall and they will be eager to build some momentum after blowing past the Clippers in a 121-107 road win last night. Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey led the team with 24 points each while Cameron Payne drained five 3-pointers to finish with 23 points off the bench. As a team, the 76ers shot 53 percent from the field and 18 of 37 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 41 points in the first quarter to take the early lead and they just kept their foot on the gas to earn the wire to wire win.
Sacramento Kings
Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have been in great shape as they’ve won seven of their last 10 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after outlasting the Magic in a 109-107 road win on Saturday. De’Aaron Fox led the team with 31 points on 10 of 22 shooting, Keegan Murray added 22 points while Domantas Sabonis chipped in with 21 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists. As a team, the Kings shot 43 percent from the field and 15 of 40 from the 3-point line as they found themselves in a real arm wrestle with the Magic, trailing with just 25.1 seconds left on the clock before Fox saved the day with the game-winning free throws with just 21 seconds left in the game. The Kings will play against the Mavs in a back-to-back set after this game.

76ers vs Kings prediction
The 76ers are still missing a few players with Joel Embiid and Kyle Lowry still out, while the Kings are still without Kevin Huerter and Sasha Vezenkov who have already been ruled out. The 76ers haven’t been at their best lately, but they were able to put it all together in an impressive wire to wire win over the Clippers last night and I think they can at least keep this one close against this Kings squad who were somewhat lucky to get past the Magic in their last game. The line seems slightly too high for this one, so I’m taking the 76ers with the points in this spot.
