Betting on the Sacramento Kings
- Regular Season Record: 29-23
De’Aaron Fox’s recent absence due to personal issues has had a more than visible negative effect on the Kings, who lead the league in scoring offense with an average of 118.9 points per game, but only managed to score 104 points in their previous two games before traveling to Houston.
The Kings’ lengthy seven-game road trip has had its ups and downs, but it hasn’t had much of an impact on their standings, as they are still third in the Western Conference and 7.0 games off the top, where the Nuggets presently hold the lead.
Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 13-40.
The Rockets’ terrible 2022–23 campaign is still going, and despite the occasional strong performance, there aren’t many reasons to be optimistic about their future. Not only they have the poorest record in the league, but they also rank among the worst in offense and attack.
With an average of 109.9 points scored per game and a field goal percentage of 45.1%, the young squad led by Stephen Silas is the second-worst offensive team in the NBA. Additionally, with an average of 117.5 points allowed per game on defense, they are the sixth-most permissive team.
While they have a slightly better home record, being at home has not made much of a difference for the Rockets this season, as they have an 8-19 record at home and are averaging 109.7 points scored per game.
JefeBet Prediction
The Rockets’ defense, which has looked a touch stronger lately, has held opponents to an average of 113.0 points scored, so they will undoubtedly be a tough nut to crack for a Kings team that isn’t the same on offense when they travel and still isn’t sure whether they can bank on Fox for this matchup.
However, it’s also important to keep in mind that the Kings are typically stronger on their home court, so they shouldn’t have much trouble with a home offense that is among the worst in the league and doesn’t produce much there either.
20 of the Kings’ 26 away games this season have covered the Under, so considering their opponent’s offensive shortcomings and their problems on offense on the road, we expect this to be a low-scoring clash as well.
Prediction: Under.
