Friday, October 25, 2019, finds Western Conference rivals the Portland Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings facing each other in their second match of the 2019-20 season. Each club is seeking its first win of the 2019-20 season.
Last season, the squads played three times with the Blazers winning two of the three contests. The Blazers hold the all-time record having bested the Kings in 133 of their 212 matches.
Portland Trail Blazers
The starting rotation for the Blazers played well in the opener with equal distribution of scoring. Hassan Whiteside’s debut was impressive as he delivered a double-double of 16 points and 19 rebounds.
Damian Lillard scored 32 points, dished eight assists and grabbed four rebounds. The game was close throughout with Portland holding a one-point lead entering the final frame. But then the Nuggets switched gears outscoring the Blazers by nine points to collect the win.

The game was lost behind the arc both in terms of the Blazers’ inability to score from deep (7-of-28) or defend the perimeter allowing the Nuggets to shoot a sizzling 56% (18-of-32).
This was the first loss by the Blazers in their last 19 home openers the longest such record in NBA history.
Nassir Little (knee) and Pau Gasol (foot) are both questionable while Jusuf Nurkic is out until mid-February rehabbing his broken leg.
Sacramento Kings
Luke Walton’s first game at the helm didn’t go exactly as planned and his efforts to improve the Kings’ defense fell apart in the second half.
The loss to the Suns was perhaps unexpected but got worse with news Marvin Bagley III broke his thumb and will miss between 4 to 6 weeks. Bagley registered a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds while Buddy Hield posted a team-high 28 points.

The Kings held a five-point lead at the half and then seemingly imploded losing the third quarter by 15 points and the fourth by 19.
Losing Bagley this early could affect Sacramento’s ability to compete for a playoff seed and puts the young squad immediately under pressure.
It was a rough night overall with Hield hurting his ankle, De’Aaron Fox banging his knee and Bagley fracturing his thumb. Hield and Fox are expected to play. Harry Giles (knee) remains out.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Blazers are 5-4-1 ATS in their last 10 games.
- Blazers are 7-3 in the last 10 head to head contests.
- Over Under is 5-5 in team’s last 10 head to head matchups.
Free Portland Trail Blazers vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
Both clubs are seeking their first win but the Kings’ depth upfront is an issue after losing Bagley and with Giles still out. More importantly, the Kings will need to take better care of the ball as they coughed it up 27 times and the Suns made them pay for it collecting 35 points off those errors.
In recent years the Blazers have owned this matchup and no doubt will look to continue that edge particularly since this game marks the first of a four-game road trip.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Blazers ATS
The combination of the Kings nursing so many injuries and the Blazers having the edge in recent meetings bodes well for Portland to capture their first win of the season.
