The LA Lakers head to Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, USA, to face the King’s Wednesday night.
The Los Angeles Lakers fell to 13-17 SU and 12-17-1 ATS on the season following Monday’s 130-104 defeat at the Phoenix Suns. Playing as 11.5-point road underdogs on the second day of a back-to-back, the injury-depleted Lakers trailed by 24 points at halftime. They missed LeBron James (ankle), Anthony Davis (foot), and Russell Westbrook (foot), so Dennis Schroder led the way with 30 points and four assists. Also, the team has played quite well in recent matches; the team beat Denver (126-108), Detroit (124-117), and Washington (119-117), fought on equal terms with Philadelphia (122-133 after overtime) and Boston (118-122 after overtime). However, the Lakers are still in twelfth place in the Western Conference standings, with a negative win-loss balance (13-17). in the last six games, the team looks good in attack, and on average, it throws about 119 points per match.
The last matches turned out to be a failure for Sacramento: two wins out of five, and in the last game at home, unexpectedly lost to Charlotte (119-125). With such results, the Kings are still in sixth place in the Western Conference standings. The team shows bright basketball. On average, the Kings score about 118 points per match, which is one of the best indicators in the west. Also, the club needs to improve on the other side of the ball, as they surrender 113.4 points per 100 possessions (20th in the league) on 48.2% shooting from the field (26th). Also, they struggle to pull down boards on the offensive glass, so I doubt their chances of comfortably beating the Lakers. Sacramento is 1-7 ATS in its last eight home contests against the Lakers, who have covered the spread in four of their previous five tilts against the Western Conference.
Both teams have failed their last matches: if Sacramento unexpectedly lost to Charlotte at home (119-125), then Los Angeles was defeated by Phoenix (106-130) away. Naturally, both clubs want to rehabilitate themselves from these defeats and will try to please their fans. But Sacramento has more chances to win. The home-court factor will play a significant role, and the Kings practically do not lose in their arena: only two defeats in the last ten matches. In addition, the Lakers are playing disgusting away, with only one win out of five, and that was beaten by a dead Detroit (124-117). We think the upcoming meeting will remain with the owners.
