Betting on the Sacramento Kings
- Season Record: 22-18
Sacramento has already attained two victories in a row,against Orlando 136-111 and against the Rockets 135-115, but it is still a little inconsistent on its performance, and the reason is the defense. They only have Domantas Sabonis rebounding, and while he’s one of the best in the league, it is not enough.
The Lithuanian practically does everything on his own and gets no help from Harrison Barnes and Keegan Murray, who have only grabbed 8 rebounds between the two, and who have not been able to block once. Many analysts believe that both players attack well, but that they defend very poorly and that is the reason why Sabonis seems to have to multiply on the court.
From the bench, Malik Monk has made merit to be a starter for the team. In the game against the Rockets, he scored 11 points, pulled down 3 boards and dished out 3 assists. The thing is that he seems to have two different moods: if he goes out on a bad day, he goes unnoticed, but if he has a good day he can reach 30 points.
Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Season Record: 13-29
The San Antonio team has suffered three losses in a row, including two against the Grizzlies by a 121-113 and a 135-129 score. The worst thing is that they don’t play badly, but they just don’t seem to know how to maintain advantages and how to win. This year has been a learning experience for the Spurs so far, because they do have a good team to play with.
Gregg Popovich is not so sure on the team he has, and sometimes he makes decisions too late in games. When it seems the team is about to recover, it is already too late and they end up losing.
The best player of the team is Tre Jones. This season, Tre has averaged 13.5 points and 6.4 assists per game. He has raised his productivity to 15.9 points and 5.6 assists over the last 10 games he has played. The problem is that sometimes he doesn’t get the help he needs, because most of the team has yet to find its rhythm.
JefeBet Prediction
For this Kings vs Spurs game, Sacramento counts with Sabonis, even if they still have an defense that does not perform very well. On the other hand, San Antonio is not going to be able to stop the Lithuanian, who is sure to have an excellent game again in order to give Sacramento the win.
Of course this will be a low blow for the Spurs, more so because they are slowly starting to find their rhythm. Still, as it has been a constant all season, their efforts will not be enough.
Prediction: Sacramento Kings Moneyline
