This is the second and final regular season meeting between these teams as Toronto edged the Kings out 124-123 at home on December 14th. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:00 PM EST/7:00 PST from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
Triumphant Kings
The Sacramento Kings improved to 27-19 on the season after steam rolling the Grizzlies on Monday. They dominated almost every phase of the game including rebounds where they prevailed 53-31.
They were also outstanding from beyond the arc where they shot 22-40 for 55%. Despite coming off the bench, Trey Lyles led all scorers with 24 points on a efficient 8-11 from the field and 6-8 from beyond the arc.
Domantas Sabonis recorded a 14 point, 11 assist, 10 rebound triple-double while De’Aaron Fox added a 17 point, 10 assist double-double. The Kings are all the way up to 3rd place in the Western Conference, 6 games behind the first place Denver Nuggets.
Sacramento are the Kings of scoring at #1 with an average of 120.3 points a game. Defense has been a struggle as they sit at 23rd in defensive rating and 24th in defensive scoring with 116.7 points allowed per game.
Raptors Snap Three Game Skid
The Toronto Raptors prevailed over the New York Knicks on Sunday to improve to 21-27 on the season. The turnover differential proved to be the difference as Toronto won that battle 17-6.
Fred VanVleet led the team in scoring with 28 points while going 8-8 from the free-throw line. Pascal Siakam and Gary Trent Jr scored 24 points a piece while Precious Achiuwa recorded a 12 point, 11 rebound double-double.
The Raptors currently occupy the 12th spot in the Eastern Conference, 1.5 games out of the play-in tournament. The Raps are well below average in scoring at 23rd with only 112.6 points a game on 45.1% from the field.
Defense is only slightly better as they rank 15th in efficiency and 11th in scoring with 112.4 points allowed per game. OG Anunoby (ankle) and Dalano Blanton (hip) are both listed as questionable for this contest.
Sacramento Kings vs Toronto Raptors Player Prop Prediction
The Sacramento Kings are favored by 4 points over the Toronto Raptors with a high total set at 239. This is a case of one team exceeding expectations in Sacramento with the other falling well short in Toronto.
The Raptors have been struggling to keep a lid on points guards recently as they have allowed the 6th most points (25.96) in the last 15 games. De’Aaron Fox has a point total set at 23.5 and he has eclipsed that in 7 of his last 10 games while falling short on the hook with 23 once.
Looking at guard point production in general over the last 15 games, Jalen Brunson scored 21 & 26 in the same games RJ Barrett scored 30 & 32 points, Jaylen Brown 27/Malcolm Brogdon 23, D’Angelo Russell 25/Anthony Edwards 23, Jrue Holiday 37 and Trae Young 29/Dejounte Murray 27.
Fox also scored 27 in Toronto on December 14th. We know Fox will get plenty of minutes and shots and this is a dream matchup for him.
