Sacramento Kings
In their last game, the Kings were beat by the Dallas Mavericks. The final to that game was 127-123. They now have lost three games in a row.
Offensively, the Kings are near the bottom of the league. They only average 106.4 points per game, which is the 24th ranked scoring offense. They do not shoot the ball great either, only averaging 45.5% from the field. This is 17th in the NBA. They are slightly above average when shooting the three ball however, averaging 35.8%.
Their leading scorer this season is Buddy Hield. He has come a long way and is averaging 20.3 points per game. The second leading scorer on the Kings is De’Aaron Fox. Fox has only played 23 games, but is still averaging 19.2 points per game. Other than these two guys, five other players average in double digits, so the Kings have been very balanced.
Note that Bogdan Bogdanovic has now missed six straight games, but is listed as probable for this game.

Defense for the Kings has pretty solid as they allow just 109.1 points per game. This is the 13th ranked scoring defense in the league.
The key for the Kings will be defending the three-point line. They rank 12th in this category, allowing 34.6%. Doing this should keep them in this game.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz saw their ten-game winning streak come to an end in New Orleans as they lost 138-132 to the Pelicans. This game took overtime and the Jazz failed to cover as a 4.5-point favorite. They still are playing some great basketball, and will be looking to start a new streak in the comfort of their own arena.
Utah’s offense is about as average as they come, ranking 16th in the NBA in scoring. They average 110.2 points per game. The Jazz still rank in the top 5 in shooting, averaging 47.1% from the field. They are also the best team in the league in three-point shooting, averaging 38.9%.
Leading the scoring is Donovan Mitchell. This is not really a surprise as he averages 24.8 points per game. Bojan Bogdanovic is averaging 21 points per game and Jordan Clarkson is averaging 15 points per game. Rudy Gobert also averages 15 points per game, but he also averages 14.5 rebounds per game. Clearly the Jazz have plenty of scoring options to counter the Kings.
Defensively, the Jazz are a top 10 team, yet it did not look like it when they gave up 138 to New Orleans. They normally only 106.6 points per game, so they will be looking to tighten up. Teams are shooting 44.5% against them and 34.1% from long range.
NBA Betting Trends:
- SAC are 13-5-2 ATS in the last 20 meetings in Utah.
- SAC are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 road games.
Free Sacramento Kings vs. Utah Jazz NBA Prediction:
Utah has been pretty dominant at home, however they have struggled some at covering. Therefore, I like the Jazz to win, but I believe the Kings will be able to cover.
