The Kings fired head coach Mike Brown, and until the end of the championship Doug Christie will lead the team. Under his leadership, Sacramento has managed to play only two matches so far. First, the Kings lost to the Los Angeles Lakers (122:132) for the fourth time in this championship - on the road. But then at home they outplayed Dallas (110:100), who can't count on Luka Doncic at the moment.
It should be noted that with the victory over the Mavericks, Sacramento broke a losing streak that eventually reached six consecutive games. In general, the Kings have a difficult tournament situation - only 12th place in the Western Conference with a negative balance of 14-19 and 2.5 wins behind the top ten.
Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers won't be able to count on Joel Embiid in the upcoming game. Eric Gordon, Kyle Lowry and Andre Drummond are questionable for the match. Such unpleasant problems with the roster significantly reduce the chances of Philadelphia to extend the winning streak, which it has had to date.
Again, Phila won the previous four games - at home against San Antonio, and away against Boston (118:114), Utah (114:111) and Portland (125:103). In the Eastern Conference standings, the 76ers are already close to the top-10 and are currently just 0.5 wins behind Detroit, who are in the top-10. Philadelphia has a winning balance of 13-17.
Expert Betting Tips
Philadelphia has a great head-to-head statistic with Sacramento in recent seasons. Yes, Embiid won't help the 76ers right now, but other stars - Tyrese Maxey and Paul George - are in the lineup. In addition, the Kings currently have a lot of problems, have already fired their head coach and can hardly be considered as such a clear favorite in the upcoming game. Let's bet on Philadelphia and the total under.
