Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns Best Bet: Friday, March 24th

Western 3rd and 4th seeds will face off tonight in the Golden 1 Center where the Kings will host the Suns. K. Durant has not been cleared to play after suffering a bizarre injury during warm up a couple of weeks prior. The Kings who have been the hottest offensive team in the league are coming to this match after a 2 game-losing streak.

Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns Preview

Sat, Mar 25th. 02:00 am (UK time)

The Kings want to keep the home-court advantage for the playoffs, although they have a decent margin between them and the Suns, they have lost the last 2 games and they need to get back on the winning track. The weakened Suns team with all the absences who are a direct competitor is a good opponent to regain confidence.

The Kings are the #1 ranked offence with 122 points per game, their assisted baskets between Sabonis and Fox are a sight to witness and making them 3rd best passing team in the league with almost 28 assists per game. For tonight’s game, they will be missing K. Huerter who is still not cleared to play after suffering a knee injury.

The Suns still cannot count on newly acquired superstar K. Durant who suffered an injury in the warmup of one of their recent games. They are in a very bad spot in the season, losing 4 of their last 5 games. The Suns are the dead last team in the league in transition offence with only 10ppg in fastbreaks and 27th in points in the paint. They will also be missing D. Ayton tonight due to an injury, it is safe to say the Kings will run them over in both open floor and the pain since it’s their strongest part of the offence. The Suns are likely to continue the losing streak tonight, and they will need to seek victories to maintain the 4th spot elsewhere when the circumstances are not against them so much.
