We draw the attention of our readers to the prediction of the Los Angeles Lakers – Sacramento Kings game, in which the teams will meet in the NBA regular season.
The Lakers need a boost
The Los Angeles Lakers are having another tough season, with the team only ranked 13th in the West, so the main task is to make the playoffs. The goal is quite achievable, as there is one win for the top 10 and two for the top 6, which indicates a close fight. In the last meeting, the team defeated the outsider Houston Rockets on their floor with a score of 140:132, the most productive player of the meeting was LeBron James, who scored 48 points. The club managed to break a streak of three defeats. Four players will be missing in the upcoming clash, including Davis and James, although it was written about LeBron that he will not play in previous meetings either, he has problems with his ankle.
The kings took the easy way out
Sacramento is doing well, the club is fourth in the West, which is a great result. The “Kings” gained momentum with four wins in a row. In the last meeting we managed to beat San Antonio with the score 132:119. Harrison Barnes led the team with 29 points. The Kings don’t have superstars on their roster, but overall the team is solid. There are no casualties before this meeting.
Personal meetings
The rivals have already played each other three times this season, all games are remembered at a high level, as at least 234 points per game were scored, the Sacramento basketball team won twice and the Lakers once.

Match prediction
If the Lakers really play without their leaders, it will be hard to get a positive result. It is best to bet here live or when the lineups are known. Bookmakers give a slight advantage to visitors, which we fully agree with. We expect another successful battle, so we bet on a total of over 242.5 points.
