Kings vs Suns: Both teams are coming off a loss
The Sacramento Kings are visiting the Phoenix Suns at Footprint Center on Tuesday night.
The Kings have dropped to the Play-In zone
The Sacramento Kings are seventh in the Western Conference with a 30-22 record. They have lost three of the last four games and are coming off a 127-113 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. That was the second consecutive triple-double game for Domantas Sabonis, who recorded 21 points, 14 assists, and 11 rebounds. De’Aaron Fox leads the Kings with 26.4 points per game. Sacramento is third in the league, making 15 three-pointers per game, but they are the worst team in the league, with 73.1% shooting from the free throw line.
The Suns have won the last five home games
The Phoenix Suns are sixth in the Western Conference with a 31-22 record. After winning three consecutive games, the Suns lost 113–112 to the Golden State Warriors in the last one. They are second in the league, shooting 49.9% from the field, and fifth with 37.9% from behind the arc. Kevin Durant leads the Suns with 28.3 points per game, followed by Devin Booker with 28.
Betting Trends
10 of the last 15 games between these two teams have ended under the total point line. The Suns have played under 10 of their last 14 games overall and in 4 of their last 5 games played on Tuesday.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Suns are one of the hottest teams in the West, despite losing the last one against the Warriors. They were so close to winning that one as well, but Steph Curry made a three as time expired. The Kings are also coming off a loss, the third in the last four games, and they will need to pick up their game in order to become a serious playoff contender. Domantas Sabonis is leading the league with 17 triple-doubles this season, and with him playing at that level, the Kings have a chance against anyone in the league. This will be a tight battle, and the total point line is set at 244. Given the fact that it is pretty high and both teams have played under in recent weeks, going under is the right choice for this game.
