*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday, March 23rd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, March 24th.
Phoenix Suns
Monty Williams was steamed after the loss to the Lakers and in particular the 46 to 20 free throw differential. Let’s ignore the fact Phoenix was the benefactor of several games in recent seasons where they won based on iffy calls/no calls and focus on the evidence instead.
To wit, Phoenix opponents shoot the second most free throws (because they CONSTANTLY foul) while the Suns attempt the third-fewest free throws.
The latter is highlighted by the mid-range shooting Suns ranking 24th for paint scoring (where most foul calls are drawn) and are an uber-small club that got even smaller after the Durant trade.
KD will help increase their FTA but he can’t fix the roster size, lack of depth, or team defense all on his own.
That said, 46 FTA by the Lakers does seem fishy especially considering Austin Reaves was averaging 3.3 FTA through 51 games (no double-figure attempts) but in the past four games is averaging 13.3 free throws with three of those games featuring double-figure attempts.
Stats
Phoenix averages 113.3 points per game ranking 18th while shooting 46.7% from the field and 37.7% from the perimeter ranking 21st and fifth overall.
Defensively opponents score 111.8 points ranking fourth-best. Meanwhile, they limit opponent shooting to 46.7% from the field and 36% from the perimeter ranking seventh and 15th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kevin Durant (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Deandre Ayton C (downgraded to OUT —hip)
Sacramento Kings
Returning from the break the Kings were one of the hottest clubs (11-2) but have stumbled recently with consecutive losses. The latter was most concerning as it was via a 23-point blow-out on their home court.
It begs the question of how the Kings’ juggernaut offense will fare in the postseason. Against the Celtics four of the five starters (plus two reserves) registered double-figure scoring but no one broke 20 points.
Stats
Offensively, the Kings are among the very best in the association with the highest scoring output averaging 120.9 points per game. Similarly, they perform well in the proficiency areas registering 49.7% from the field and 37.4% from deep ranking second and eighth overall.
Sacramento ranks 28th in opponent scoring allowing 118.5 points per game while foes shoot 49.4% from the field and 37.4% from the perimeter ranking 29th and 28th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kevin Huerter SG (questionable—knee)

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
Each team is motivated to win as they jockey for playoff seeding. Phoenix’s position is much more precarious however with the eight teams trailing them all within 3.0 games.
On the positive side, they’re positioned well with only the Jazz capable of winning their season series. Phoenix won the Warriors series 3-1, tied the Mavs and Pels 2-2, and lead the Wolves, Thunder, and both LA teams 2-1 with one game remaining to play against each.
On the negative side, Phoenix has lost five of their last six matches and has a harrowing itinerary to close the season with the five noted matches against the teams trailing them as well as this match, the 76ers, two against the Nuggets, and one easier game versus the Spurs.
Suffice to say, the Suns enter this match as the more desperate squad but without KD and Ayton they face a tough challenge.
