Los Angeles Clippers vs Sacramento Kings: prediction for a NBA
The teams have faced each other in 53 matches, with Sacramento winning only 17 times, while Los Angeles Clippers have emerged victorious in 36 games. However, when making a prediction for the Los Angeles Clippers - Sacramento Kings match, it is worth noting their most recent encounter on March 4, which ended with a score of 128-127 in favor of the Kings.
Los Angeles Clippers
In the match against the Utah Jazz, the Los Angeles Clippers performed excellently in their offense, converting 49.4% of their field goal attempts. However, their defense couldn’t withstand the opponent’s resistance, allowing them to shoot over 50% and conceding over 100 points – 99:105. The entire Clippers’ starting lineup scored in double digits, with seven players scoring 10+ points. The most productive player was 28-year-old Xavier Moon with 26 points, followed by Jason Preston with 15 points. Rookie Matt Morgan contributed 14 points off the bench.
Sacramento Kings
Sacramento Kings, on the other hand, are participating in the 2023 Summer League with almost the same roster as last summer when they had a successful tournament. This year seems to be no different. They started with victories on their home court against the Golden State Warriors (100:94) and Miami Heat (95:83), and continued their winning streak in Las Vegas by defeating the Atlanta Hawks (80:76). In the game against the Hawks, Jordan Ford stood out for the Kings with 20 points, while Kessler Edwards scored 14 points. However, the main star of the Sacramento Kings in the summer league, Kigane Murray, was not included in the lineup for that game.
Prediction
The Clippers conceded 105 points against the Utah Jazz, who are not among the strongest teams of the summer 2023. Sacramento Kings, on the other hand, are clear favorites in the upcoming match, and they are likely to confirm their status as such. The Kings' roster hasn't changed much compared to last year, which means they have gained more experience and strength. They have already proven themselves by winning three consecutive games. We bet on Sacramento and expect a low-scoring game since the Clippers, with two consecutive games shooting below 50%, are unlikely to have a strong offensive performance. Our prediction is a victory for Sacramento with odds of 1.82. Our second prediction is a total score under 183.5 with odds of 1.85. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.82.
