Brooklyn Nets vs Sacramento Kings Betting Analysis
The Sacramento Kings continue their east coast road trip in Brooklyn for an interconference showdown with the Nets on Thursday evening.
The Nets watched a two game winning streak fall by the wayside in a 121-107 road loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. The Kings picked up a 117-114 road victory over the Chicago Bulls.
This will be the second and final game in a regular season series that the Kings lead 1-0 after beating the Nets 153-121 in Sacramento on November 15th. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM EST/4:30 PST from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Bridges Leads Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Nets slipped to 39-30 on the season after losing to Oklahoma City on Tuesday night. The turnover differential proved to be the difference as Brooklyn lost that battle 17-11.
Mikal Bridges led his team in scoring with 34 points on 11-23 from the field. Nic Claxton recorded a 12 point, 12 rebound double-double as did Spencer Dinwiddie with 16 points and 11 assists.
The Nets currently occupy the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference, 11 games behind the first place Bucks but two games from slipping into the play-in tournament. Brooklyn ranks 18th in scoring with 113.8 points a game on 49.2% shooting.
They sit at 15th in defensive rating and 12th in defensive scoring with 113.1 points allowed per game. Ben Simmons is the only player listed on the injury report due to a knee injury.
Kings Fight For Playoff Positioning
The Sacramento Kings upped their record to 41-27 on the season after beating Chicago. They had a tremendous shooting advantage as they shot 38-78 for 48.7% while Chicago shotvonly 38-97 for 39.2%.
Domantas Sabonis recorded a 14 point, 17 rebound, 10 assist triple-double. De’Aaron Fox led his team in scoring with 32 points while Malik Monk chipped in with 19 points off the bench.
The Kings are deadlocked with the Memphis Grizzlies for the two seed, 4.5 games behind the first place Nuggets. Sacramento is the #1 scoring team in the NBA with 121.2 points a game on 49.9% from the field.
They sit at 25th in defensive rating and 28th in defensive scoring with 118.5 points allowed per game. Richaun Holmes is the only player listed on the Kings injury report and he is doubtful with an illness.
Brooklyn Nets vs Sacramento Kings Expert Prediction
The Brooklyn Nets enter this contest as 3 point home favorites with a high total set at 238. The first time these teams met they combined for 274 points in a 153-121 Sacramento victory.
The Nets have improved somewhat defensively but have allowed 120+ points in each of their last three games. The Kings have scored 120+ in 10 of their last 11 games while landing on 117 in the other game.
They have also allowed 114+ points in four straight games. The last five head-to-head meetings between these teams have went over the total and I fully expect a shootout in this one.
Prediction: Over 238 -110 Draftkings
