The Sacramento Kings and the Toronto Raptors duke it out at the Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night. Here’s a Raptors vs. Kings Prediction. This article will include a Raptors vs. Kings Pick.
Sacramento Kings Betting Preview
The Sacramento Kings have been in a slump as they’ve lost six of their last seven games overall and they will be looking to snap a four-game skid after getting trounced by the lowly Nets in a 116-99 road defeat on Sunday. Devin Carter led the team with 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists; Nique Clifford added 17 points with seven rebounds while Precious Achiuwa chipped in with 16 points and eight rebounds. As a team, the Kings shot 43 percent from the field and 10 of 32 from the 3-point line as they got off to a cold start and got outscored by 68-45 in the first half, which was always going to be too much to overcome. Daeqwon Plowden scored just two points on one of eight shots while Killian Hayes scored just one point on zero of five shots.
Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in decent form as they’ve won six of their last 10 games overall but will be eager to bounce back here after having their two-game win streak snapped by the Pistons in a 127-116 road defeat last night. RJ Barrett led the team with 24 points, Brandon Ingram added 22 points, and Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 16 points while Collin Murray-Boyles chipped in with 14 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, the Raptors shot 48 percent from the field and 10 of 29 from the 3-point line as they fought hard to stay within striking distance going into the halftime break, but all their hard work went down the drain in the third quarter, where they leaked 41 points to trail by as many as 23 points.

Raptors vs Kings Prediction
The Kings are still missing Russell Westbrook, Keegan Murray, Drew Eubanks, Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine, while the Raptors have ruled out Immanuel Quickley, Jamison Battle and Chucky Hepburn. The Raptors were starting to get on a roll before they ran into the Pistons last night, but I expect them to bounce back in fine fashion against this severely shorthanded Kings squad who just got smashed by the slumping Nets. The line was always going to be hefty for this matchup, but I think the Raptors get the win and cover with relative ease in this one.
