The Kings are going all out. They won 3 consecutive victories after a worrying slump, but they remembered that they do know how to play basketball. They are among the best in the West and the team is looking stronger game by game.
Domantas Sabonis is being a beast under the boards, against the Bulls in what was a 110-101 win, he pulled down 17 rebounds and dished out 10 assists. Every time he rebounds, he knows what to do with the ball and that gives them a ton of strength both offensively and defensively.
He can also score, as he scored 24 points and dished out 6 assists in a 123-96 win over the Clippers last Saturday. If the Kings are to aspire to anything, they depend on the Lithuanian. The only thing you can put on them is that they are not as consistent when visiting, having an even 5-5 record on the road.
Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Regular Season Record: 16-9

- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be defined)
The Cavs are in the leading pack in the East —which is no small feat— as it’s a pretty tight conference. They have only two losses in their last five games, but come into this game with an important victory over the Lakers by a score of 116-102.
Donovan Mitchell is being a beast on offense: in the game against the Lakers, he scored 43 points. So, basically, he was unstoppable. But to win you need a good defense and under Evan Mobley, there are 3 games with at least 10 rebounds recorded.
The thing is that they play at home, and there they are invincible, well, almost. They have only lost one game out of 11 played.. The only one that could break the Cavs‘ house was Minnesota, with a game that ended with a tight score of 129-124. Cleveland is a complicated place to visit, without a doubt.
JefeBet Prediction
For these reasons, we believe that the Cavaliers will take the victory and end the Kings’ streak, who are regular visitors. Besides, the momentum of Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley on the Cavs is quite important.
It’s not that the Kings play poorly, on the contrary, they are a very good team, but when they visit, something turns them off, and in this case they enter one of the most complicated arenas in the NBA. To pull out a victory is practically impossible.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers Moneyline.
