Key Stats
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings are coming off a big-time comeback against the New Orleans Pelicans in their last game. They came back from down 20 points in the 1st quarter and won the game 123-118. Domantas Sabonis had a great game in the comeback with 27 points and 16 rebounds. Zach LaVine finished the game with 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. Damar DeRozan had a subpar game despite the win with only 11 points on 4/12 shooting. The Kings have a record of 26-26 on the season and currently sit 9th in the Western Conference.
Defensively, this team is subpar. For the season, they are ranked 22nd in points allowed per game, 17th in opponent field goal %, 28th in 3-point field goal %, 22nd in blocks per game, 17th in steals per game, and 13th in rebounds per game. In terms of injuries, there isn’t anyone that is currently listed for the Kings. If they can continue their growth and chemistry as a team, this could be a team to watch come postseason time. The Kings have the offensive firepower to be a dangerous team in the Western Conference.
Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a big win in their last game. They defeated the Houston Rockets 116-105. With a record of 28-25, they currently sit 8th in the Western Conference. Anthony Davis was great in the win with 26 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 blocks. However, he was injured in the game and is expected to miss about a month of action. A tough blow for such a promising debut. Max Christie was great with 23 points in 33 minutes. Kyrie Irving had a subpar game with 13 points on 4/15 shooting from the field.
Defensively, this team has been solid. For the season, they are ranked 15th in points allowed per game, 9th in opponent field goal %, 20th in opponent 3-point field goal %, 3rd in blocks per game, 19th in steals per game, and 12th in rebounds per game. In terms of injuries, besides the Anthony Davis injury, Dallas has a few key players. Max Christie and PJ Washington are listed as questionable for this game. If one of them can’t go, that puts the Mavs’ chances of winning very low. When healthy, they have the capability of being one of the best teams in the NBA.
Prediction
The Sacramento Kings are going to win this game outright against the Dallas Mavericks. They are the healthier team in this spot. Without Anthony Davis, this is a completely different team. Daniel Gafford has been awesome for the Mavs but the Sabonis matchup could see Gafford pick up quick fouls and lose out on minutes in this game. Then if PJ or Christie are out, they do not have the perimeter or wing defenders to contain the likes of Malik Monk, DeRozan, or LaVine. Overall, give me the Sacramento Kings to defeat the Dallas Mavericks in this game.
Final Pick
Sacramento Kings ML (-105)
