The road Kings enter this one coming off a 127-120 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at home. They entered that contest as 4-point favorites.
The home Lakers are coming off of a 114-101 defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers. Ahead of that game, the Lakers were 3-point underdogs.
On the season, the Kings are 7-3 ATS despite their SU record. The Lakers, on the other hand, are 2-9 ATS—just like their SU record.
Sacramento Kings
The Kings are back on the road after a quick one-game homestand. Before that they had been on the road for four straight, a trip they split 2-2 with alternating wins and losses.
The Kings so far this season average 115.9 points per game. That number puts the team in the No. 10 spot in the Association.
Looking at the advanced numbers, Sacramento posts 111.2 points per 100 possessions—a number that slots them in at 10th for Offensive Efficiency.
Defensively, the Kings are giving up 117.1 points per contest. So far in 2022-23, that number is good enough for 25th.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, this group allows 113.1 points per 100 possessions. Across 30 teams, they rank 26th in that category.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers are an absolute mess. On the court, yes, we know this. But reports came out on Wednesday that the team is sitting back waiting for, apparently, one big name to become available in trade. And on Thursday, it was reported that president of basketball operations, Rob Pelinka, is struggling to balance building the Lakers for the future and keeping his promise of making LeBron a contender throughout his contract.
Not that that’s a shocker based on what we’ve seen…but hearing that core players (cough, LeBron, cough!!) would sour on the idea of not making a move isn’t just a disaster for the long-term but a sign of off-court turmoil that can certainly impact the on-court product.
Coming into this one, note the big injury: LeBron James is doubtful. His status is considered day-to-day as of this writing on Thursday night, but general speculation is that he is basically out. Do keep an eye on this, though.
Anthony Davis, in the meantime is considered probable, while Lonnie Walker is questionable with an illness.
On the year are scoring 107.7 points per game and 101.4 points per 100 possessions. Those numbers slot them in at 28th and 30th, respectively.
Defensively, Los Angeles allows 116,1 points per night on average, placing them in 25th—a single spot ahead of the Kings.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, L.A. is giving up 109.8 points per 100 possessions. That number puts the Lakers in a three-way tie for 18th with the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic.

Free Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
The Kings are hardly world-beaters at this point, but are they easier to trust than the Lakers? You bet.
My money here is on Sacramento to win outright, and I do not think the Lakers keep it close.
The downhill spiral for L.A. continues.
