Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns Prediction 11-13-24 NBA Picks

The Phoenix Suns travel to the Golden 1 Center to take on the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Here’s a Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns Prediction. This article will include a Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns Pick.

The Phoenix Suns have been in red-hot form as they’ve won nine of their first 11 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after taking down the Jazz in a 120-112 road win last night. Devin Booker led the team with 31 points on 11 of 20 shooting, Bradley Beal added 24 points on eight of 15 shooting while Mason Plumlee and Grayson Allen scored 15 points apiece.

As a team, the Suns shot 50 percent from the field and 18 of 39 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 33 points in the first quarter to build an early 18-point lead, which was more than enough to hold off a late rally from the Jazz in the fourth quarter. The Suns will take on the Thunder after this game.

Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have been in decent shape as they’ve won six of their last nine games overall, but they will be looking to bounce back in this one after getting thrashed by the Spurs in a 116-96 road defeat on Monday. De’Aaron Fox led the team with 24 points, six rebounds, and three assists, Domantas Sabonis tallied 23 points with 12 rebounds and four assists while DeMar DeRozan chipped in with 21 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.

As a team, the Kings shot just 42 percent from the field and 10 of 38 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the Spurs early on, allowing 38 points in the second quarter to trail early on, before they went cold and scored just 16 points in the third quarter to allow the Spurs to run away with it. Kevin Huerter had a rough game as he scored just two points on one of seven shooting while Keegan Murray scored just five points on two of seven shooting.

Why the Sacramento Kings will win

• The Kings have won each of their last 12 games as home favorites after losing as favorites.
• The Suns have lost each of their last nine games as underdogs against Pacific Division opponents following a win.
• The Kings have covered the spread in each of their last six games as favorites against Pacific Division opponents following a loss.
• The Suns have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine games against Pacific Division opponents following a win.

Total Points Facts

• Each of the Kings’ last six home games against Pacific Division opponents has gone UNDER the total points line.
• Each of the Suns’ last six games as underdogs following a road win have gone OVER the total points line.

The Suns are still shorthanded with Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic both ruled out, while the Kings are still missing Malik Monk. The Suns have been one of the hottest teams in the league so far and they were good enough to beat the lowly Jazz despite missing two key players, while the Kings were on a nice run before they got smashed by the Spurs in their last outing. It’s tempting to take the Suns with the points, but they are playing their second game of a back-to-back set, so I am leaning towards the Kings to get the much-needed win at home to get back on track.
