Betting on the Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings began this new season with the same goal in mind, and with which they have played in recent years: to end a 16-year period in which they haven’t been able to reach the postseason, currently the longest in the NBA.
However, starting their campaign with a 2-5 record is not something that helps their cause, but they will have a new opportunity to achieve a win on this game.
Their last game resulted in a 110-107 loss to the Miami Heat, game in which Domantas Sabonis was two assists away of a triple double (22 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists). That defeat halted the team’s momentum, which they had gained from their first win as visitors over the Hornets.Now, they will be hoping to get back on the winning ways.
Betting on Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic finished last season with the second worst record in the entire league, and they seem to want to emulate that disastrous campaign by having the worst record in their division, along with the Detroit Pistons, in this campaing as well. However, they are coming off their second win, which was against the current champion, the Golden State Warriors. They outnumbered the Warriors by 130-129.
That win ended a bad streak of two losses in a row for the Magic, and having won in two of their three home appearances this season, they will sure be confident they can once again bring joy to their fans at the Amway Center.
JefeBet Prediction
It is easy to see where Orlando’s problem lies:They average the second fewest points per game in the NBA with just 105.9,and a three-point shooting percentage of 31%, which is the third lowest in the league. This doesn’t help them at all, especially in a league where the three-point has become very valuable lately.
Defense has been Sacramento’s issue at the moment, after allowing a minimum of 110 points in almost all their games, minus one, in this campaign.However, this is a chance for the team to put its defensive skills to good use against one of the NBA’s worst offenses.
Meanwhile yesterday’s game was quite eventful, it was only the third time the Magic have scored more than 110 points in a game, and maybe this game against the Kings will be a game where there will be a lot of inaccurate shooting, leading to a low-scoring game.
Prediction: Under (SAC 110 – ORL 116)
