Previously, these teams met each other 27 times. The visiting team of this meeting has a slight advantage: they won 16 matches, while the Kings have only 11 victories. They played only once last year, with the Sacramento Kings winning. In 2019 two meetings of the favorite were not revealed, since they defeated each other once.
Sacramento Kings
Currently placed sixth on the standings, directly below Melbourne Stars on the log, victory in this encounter will see Brisbane Heat move up the standings. Hence, we can expect a strong showing from them here. In superb form last time out, the Heat surprisingly brought high-flying Sydney Thunder down to bare bones. They will be counting on the pacey quarter of Mark Steketee, Jack Wildermuth, Lewis Gregory and Xavier Bartlet to lead them to victory in this upcoming test.
Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls will be four-player short, but their chances of winning will not change much. The visiting team also won three matches, after only seven games in the conference. At the moment the team has 10th place in the east zone, a couple of victories in a row and it is in the playoff zone.
Prediction
Our expert pick:
The Sacramento Kings team is not the strongest in the West conference. Last season it was rather weak, but no worse than guests from Chicago. This year it looks better and the result confirms this. Bulls look more modest both in the table and in face-to-face games, so it is better not to risk and not bet on their victory. Therefore, on the 1xBet website we bet on handicap H1 (-4.5) for a coefficient of 1.65. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.65. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
