Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Sacramento Kings vs Houston Rockets NBA Regular Season Game on February 6, 2023
- Where: Toyota Center, Houston, Texas.
- When: Monday, February 6, 2023, 8:00 PM E.T.
Betting on the Sacramento Kings
- Regular Season Record: 29-22
Despite their recent slips, the Sacramento Kings remain firmly in the direct playoff spots in the Western Conference, occupying third place in the standings. However, with only 3.5 games separating them from ninth place, they know they cannot get too distracted.
The Kings will close out a seven-game road trip with a two-game mini-series against the Rockets, and while they have a decent 13-11 record as playing away from home, it’s a condition in which they have struggled a bit this campaign. Indeed, the team has been averaging 114.3 points scored and 114.7 points allowed per game.
Also, the fact that they will be playing without De’Aaron Fox, who has missed the team’s last two games for personal reasons, will further complicate this visit to the Kings.Fox has been one of the Kings’ main offensive references throughout the year, averaging 24.3 points and 6.1 assists per game.
Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 13-40.
Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets continue to be unable to get back on their feet in a season that has been very tough for them. The team has not only lost its last two games, but it now also finds itself at the bottom of the Western Conference, in addition to owning the worst record in the entire league.
The Texans’ most recent setback came last Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In this game, a 19-38 first quarter set the tone of the occasion, along young TyTy Washington Jr. and Josh Christopher who scored 20 points apiece, but whose efforts were unable to avoid a humiliating 121-153 loss.
Performances as such have been plentiful this campaign for the Rockets, who will open this week as the NBA’s second-worst offensive team with just 109.9 points scored per game, and boast a poor average of 117.5 points allowed.
JefeBet Prediction
The Kings are the second best in the league offensively, and the Rockets know that better than anyone. However, their production is not the same when they are playing away from home, and in this opportunity they could have problems once again with the absence of a key player like Fox.
Moreover, while not amazing, their offense has put up good numbers on the road, or at least much better than it usually does, so they should be able to hold off a home team that struggles night in and night out to be effective on offense.
Additionally, 18 of the 24 games the Kings have played on the road this campaign have covered the Under. Taking into account all of the above, we expect the trend to continue in this Kings vs Rockets game, and that these teams leave us with a low-scoring game.
Prediction: Under.
