Kings vs Suns: Can Phoenix build the momentum?
The Phoenix Suns are hosting the Sacramento Kings in the Footprint Center on Tuesday hoping to keep their winning streak alive.
How good are the Kings this season?
The Sacramento Kings are sixth in the Western Conference with a 23-16 record. They are coming off a 143-142 overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, which was their second consecutive loss after previously losing to the Philadelphia 76ers. Sacramento is eighth in the NBA, scoring 118.2 points per game, and is ranked fifth with 28.8 assists per game. De’Aaron Fox averages 27.8 points and 5.8 assists to lead the Kings.
Are the Suns a contender this season?
The Phoenix Suns are eighth in the Western Conference with a 21-18 record. They are only 11-11 at home and have won 7 of the last 10 games. Phoenix has won the last two games and is coming off a 127-116 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. The Suns lead the NBA in defensive rebounds per game with 32.6 and are ranked 10th, shooting 48.3% from the field. Kevin Durant leads the team, averaging 29 points per game followed by Devin Booker, who is at 26.6.
Betting Trends
Sacramento has gone over the total point line in 19 of 39 games this season, including 9 of 15 after a loss. The Suns have gone over in 22 of 39 games overall and 14 of 22 home games this season.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Phoenix Suns are trying to pick up the tempo and climb the standings to a spot where everybody believes they belong. However, the Kings play a similar style, and this will be a game between two aggressive teams on the offensive end. Bradley Beal is finally ready to contribute for the Suns after being out with an injury for most of the season. With him, the Suns have another offensive weapon next to Durant, and Booker and the Kings defense will have a long night. However, the Kings have guys like Fox and Domantas Sabonis who will probably go over 20. The total point line is set at 243.5 points for this game, and it will most likely go over it.
