Betting on the Sacramento Kings
- Preseason record: 2-0
- Spread: -7
- Moneyline: -210
- Over/Under: 215
The Sacramento Kings started the preseason in great shape. First, the team accomplished a crushing 30-point win over the Los Angeles Lakers (105-75), and then, the team attained a 32-point win over the Portland Trail Blazers (126-94).. In this last game, the main feature was the performance of Portland’s prodigal son and son of a Blazer’s legend Arvydas Sabonis, Domantas Sabonis who owned the rebounds with 7.
And, in both matches, the scorer was a rookie: Keegan Murray. Selected in this draft from the University of Iowa, the 22-year-old power forward scored 16 points in two preseason games.
Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Preseason record: 1-2
- Spread: +7
- Moneyline: +235
- Over/Under: 215
Monty Williams will have to put some work in and rebuild the Phoenix Suns team, which has had a mixed start this preseason. The Suns’ start was truly frustrating, as well as historic: they lost to none other than a FIBA team, the Adelaide 36ers of Australia, 124-134.
I simply did not give them the respect they deserve as a professional team. It is a great opportunity for us to learn.
Monty Williams said after the defeat.
Although the Suns bounced back with a win over Los Angeles Lakers (119-115), they fell to the Denver Nuggets by a narrow difference in their third game (105-107). To make matters worse, the win against the Lakers didn’t come for free: Cam Johnson and Cameron Payne suffered hand injuries that will cause them to miss what is left of the preseason.
JefeBet Prediction
Sacramento has shown strength and consistency, and its new pieces proved to fit perfectly. Without a doubt, two big wins put the Kings above the Phoenix Suns, which still does not look amalgamated and reliable. For this reason, at JefeBet we believe that the Kings will surely win.
Prediction: Sacramento Kings win 119-97.
