The Sacramento Kings play host to the Los Angeles Clippers at the Golden 1 Center on Sunday night. Here’s a Kings vs. Clippers Prediction. This article will include a Kings vs. Clippers Pick.
The Los Angeles Clippers have cooled off from their five-game win streak as they are now looking to snap a two-game skid after getting routed by the red-hot Spurs in a 118-99 loss on Thursday. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 24 points, six rebounds and five assists; Bennedict Mathurin added 18 points with seven rebounds off the bench, while John Collins chipped in with 15 points on six of eight shooting. As a team, the Clippers shot 43 percent from the field and five of 27 from the 3-point line as they struggled from the very start and scored just 19 points in the second quarter to trail by as many as 26 points, which was a shame because they fought hard to cut the deficit to just seven points before the Spurs caught fire again in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have been in decent shape, as they’ve split their last 14 games and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after sneaking past the Pelicans in a thrilling 117-113 home win on Friday. Maxime Raynaud led the team with 28 points, nine rebounds and four assists; Nique Clifford added 23 points with six assists, while Daeqwon Plowden chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Kings shot 51 percent from the field and 10 of 33 from the 3-point line as they fought their way back from a 17-point deficit to tie the scores late in the fourth quarter before they escaped with the narrow win thanks to a crucial call from the referees that gifted the Kings three crucial free throws with 2:37 left on the clock.
The Clippers have ruled out Bradley Beal and Isaiah Jackson once again, while the Kings have ruled out De’Andre Hunter, Drew Eubanks, Domantas Sabonis, Russell Westbrook and Keegan Murray. The Clippers lead the season series by 2-1, but it’s the Kings who won the most recent meeting by 118-109 back on Mar 14. The Kings deserve plenty of credit for that win and their recent play overall, but I think the Clippers get some revenge with a comfortable win and cover on the road in this one, assuming that Leonard is good to go.
