The Sacramento Kings travel to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on February 14, 2017. This article predicts the Sacramento Kings’ box score for that contest.
The Sacramento Kings head to the Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. This is the third of four regular-season meetings between the teams. The teams have split the first two meetings this regular season.
Last time out, Sacramento hosted the New Orleans Pelicans. The Kings defeated New Orleans 105-99 on Sunday night. Below is a highlight video from that game in case you missed the action.
Without further ado, below is my Sacramento Kings’ box score prediction for tonight’s contest against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Box Score Prediction
The Los Angeles Lakers play fast but struggle on both ends of the floor this season. They play at the 7th fastest pace in the NBA, but rank 22nd in offensive rating and 29th in defensive rating so far this season.
Expect tonight’s game to be a high-scoring affair as both teams are in the bottom six in the NBA defensively. Here is to hoping the Kings can use their superior efficiency to squeak past the Lakers tonight.
