Philadelphia vs Sacramento Prediction: Betting on the Kings

Philadelphia seems to be back on track with three wins in a row. But now, Nick Nurse's team is up against Sacramento in a back-to-back game. Can the 76ers push through the fatigue and get another key win that'll help their tournament chances? We've got a prediction and a few bets on this match.

Philadelphia

The 76ers are still in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, but they're only 1.0 win away from the play-in zone. Overall, Nick Nurse's team is still losing, with a record of 18:27, but they're finally gaining momentum.

Yesterday, the 76ers hosted the Los Angeles Lakers, who are representing the playoff zone in the West, and won 118-104. The second quarter was key, and the 76ers won it by 16 points. Tyrese Maxey was the high scorer for the 76ers with 43 points. Before their win against the Lakers, the 76ers beat the conference leader Cleveland (132-129) at home, and before that, they beat Chicago (109-97), a team that's also in the running for tenth place in the East. So Philadelphia has a winning streak, which is pretty unheard of for the current championship.

Sacramento

The Kings will be playing their fourth consecutive road match. So far in this stretch, Doug Christie's team, which won 10 of 11 games before going on tour, has two losses and only one win. In the most recent game so far, Sacramento confidently coped with a modest to date Brooklyn (110:96), but earlier lost in very top games to Denver (123:132) and New York (120:143).

With that said, the Kings are now 24-22 overall. After the change of head coach Sacramento looks good and is now located in the play-in zone of the Western Conference - in 10th place with a handicap from the 11th-ranked Golden State in 1.0 victory.
