Sacramento underperforms against the spread with a 10-20-1 performance through 31 games.
Kings Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Domantas Sabonis PF (questionable — illness)
Los Angeles Lakers
Unlike their opponent, the Lakers are in the playoff mix (currently seeded 6th). But they haven’t looked like a championship squad and have benefitted greatly from an easier strength of schedule facing a myriad of lower-tier seeds.
LeBron James was out for approximately a week nursing an injury but pundits were talking as it coincided with the time of year he typically likes to take a week or two off.
Lakers Stats
LA ranks 16th offensively (111.8) and 21st defensively (114.6), with a minus net differential of -2.8 also ranking 21st overall.
The Lakers dip below .500 when betting against the spread with a 14-16 record to this point in the season.
Lakers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Anthony Davis, PF (probable — ankle)
- D’Angelo Russell, PG (questionable — thumb)
- Jalen Hood-Schifino, SG (OUT — hamstring)
- Christian Wood, PF (OUT indefinitely — knee)
- Jarred Vanderbilt, SF (OUT indefinitely — knee)
- Jaxson Hayes, C (OUT — ankle)

Free NBA Prediction:
The big news out of Sacramento is head coach Mike Brown was fired a day ago so Doug Christie will be at the helm on Saturday. Typically for a coach of Brown’s stature to be released the players (or rather star players) have had a say in the matter.
Under those circumstances, the stars tend to show up in the first game to prove a point. With that in mind, I expect a close game although I’m not convinced Fox will be able to handle LA especially if Sabonis can’t go but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
