Trail Blazers vs Kings Prediction 2/6/25 NBA Picks Today

The Portland Trail Blazers play host to the Sacramento Kings at the Moda Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Trail Blazers vs Kings Prediction. This article will include a Trail Blazers vs Kings Pick.

The Sacramento Kings have been in a slump as they’ve lost five of their last seven games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting routed by the Magic in a 130-111 loss last night. Domantas Sabonis led the team with 21 points and 13 rebounds on eight of 10 shooting, DeMar DeRozan added 19 points while the newly acquired Zach LaVine chipped in with 13 points. As a team, the Kings shot 50 percent from the field and 10 of 27 from the 3-point line, but their problems were on the defensive end as they were right in the contest until they allowed 42 points in the third quarter to trail by as many as 30 points in this one.

Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers have been one of the hottest teams in the league as they’ve won nine of their last 10 games and they will be eager to build on their five-game win streak after making light work of the Pacers in a 112-89 win on Tuesday. Anfernee Simons led the team with 22 points and seven assists, Jerami Grant added 20 points while Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson each scored 17 points. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 44 percent from the field and 14 of 37 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with defense by holding the Pacers to just 38 points in the first half before the Trail Blazers caught fire with 67 points in the second half to make it another blowout win at home.

Why the Portland Trail Blazers will win

• The Kings have lost each of their last nine games on the second leg of a back-to-back against the Trail Blazers.
• The Trail Blazers have won each of their last nine night games.
• The Trail Blazers have covered the spread in each of their last 10 games.
• The Kings have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 14 Thursday games.

Why the Sacramento Kings will win

• The underdogs have won each of the Trail Blazers’ last five games.
• The Trail Blazers have lost each of their last four games as favorites following a home win.
• The underdogs have covered the spread in each of the Trail Blazers’ last seven games at Moda Center.
• The Trail Blazers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last nine Thursday games as favorites.

Matchup/League Facts

• The Trail Blazers rank 29th in the league for opponent offensive rebounds per game this season (12.2).
• The Trail Blazers rank T29th in the league for Q1 points per game this season (25.7).
• The Kings rank 30th in the league for opponent free throw percentage this season (80.2%).
• The Kings rank 30th in the league for opponent three-point field goals made per game this season (14.5).

The Kings are coming in with a full squad once again, while the Trail Blazers are still missing Matisse Thybulle. The new-look Kings could really do with a win to get their season back on track, but they’ve been in a rut and it could take some time for LaVine to get comfortable in the new offense. In contrast, the Trail Blazers have been flying under the radar as they have reeled off nine wins from their last 10 games and are riding a five-game win streak. The Kings are playing on zero days’ rest so I’m a little surprised that they aren’t bigger underdogs in this one. With that being said, I am going with the Trail Blazers to continue their recent surge with another win and cover at home.
