The Sacramento Kings weren’t able to come out on top in their last outing, as they came away on the losing end of a 117-106 point loss to the Golden State Warriors.
While out East the Detroit Pistons were a little more lucky, as a clutch KCP three-pointer ultimately allowed them to pull out the win over the Portland Trail Blazers (final score 125-124.)
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons continued battling the Portland Trail Blazers back and forth all game. But in the end it would all come down to one final shot in the second overtime.

With the Pistons down two, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope stepped up to hit a clutch three-pointer that gave the Pistons the lead and allowed them to come out on top.
But it wasn’t just their scoring that got them the win.
It was also their defensive effort. Detroit didn’t allow any of the Blazers role players to get going. And because of that nobody else was really able to get the lid off the basket.

So if Detroit hopes to win again, defense has got to be what’s on their mind first a foremost.
The Kings just have too much star power for the Pistons to try to outscore them. So they’ve got to make it a defensive matchup if they’re to earn themselves the victory.
That means Demarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay have got to be held in check all night, if the Pistons are to earn the W.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings actually put up a tough fight against the Golden State Warriors for much of the game. But a third quarter collapse ultimately led to their downfall.
Sacramento got outscored 39-22 in the third period, and that allowed Golden State to take a giant lead that the Kings couldn’t overcome. Championship teams like Golden State play four quarters of quality basketball, so if your not playing at a high level for 48 minutes they will expose you.
And that’s just what happened to the Kings. But they can’t do that this game if they’re to get the win.
The Detroit Pistons have been susceptible to going on scoring droughts, so the Kings have got to use that to their advantage. If they can get Demarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay going early, that should really help sway the game towards their side.

Detroit isn’t a great defensive team defending the post, so Sacramento has got to continue going at them down low.
Especially Andre Drummond, who has shown himself to have trouble guarding big-men in the post in the past.

Free Detroit Pistons vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
The Detroit Pistons are playing the better basketball between the two teams, but Sacramento is no slouch.
They have two top-notch scorers on their roster and that might be too much for the Pistons to defend.
Detroit isn’t a high scoring team, so if the Kings can get up points early, they’ll have themselves a better chance at winning this game.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: -2
The Kings are favourites to win this game, and rightfully so. They’re going to be playing a tough Pistons team at home, but look for Sacramento to pull out the “W”.
