NBA Betting Pick and Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Sacramento Kings

November 15, 2023



A pair of Pacific Division rivals will face each other on Wednesday night when the Sacramento Kings travel to Los Angeles, California to face the Los Angeles Lakers at the Crypto.com Arena with the game scheduled to start at 10:00 PM ET and will air on ESPN.

The Sacramento Kings started the season off 2-4, however, they seem to have turned things around as they enter this game on a three-game winning streak following a 132-120 win at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday which has improved their record of 5-4 and gives them the 6th best record in the Western Conference. Their offensive play has also looked a lot better over their last three games as they were averaging 110.5 points per game in their first six games to averaging 119.3 points per game during their three-game winning streak. Domantas Sabonis has played a pivotal role in the success that the Kings have had over their last three games as he has scored 67 points and had 33 rebounds during that time. The Kings will be going up against another team that is on a three-game winning streak when they travel to face the Los Angeles Lakers. 

The Lakers started the season off with a record of 3-5, but since their loss to the Houston Rockets on the road last Wednesday, Los Angeles has won their last three games this season including Tuesday’s 134-107 win at home against the Memphis Grizzlies which has improved their record to 6-5 this season and puts them in 2nd place in the Pacific Division only trailing the Sacramento Kings. The offensive play for Los Angeles has been on fire over the last three games as they are averaging 124 points per game during their current three-game winning streak, however, they will be facing a tougher opponent than they have faced during their three-game winning streak when they host the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.

BookMaker has the Los Angeles Lakers listed as 1-point favorites at home against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Sacramento has won seven of the last ten and two of the last three meetings while going 7-3 ATS in the last ten and 2-1 ATS in the last three games in the series. The Sacramento Kings are 5-4 ATS overall, 2-2 ATS on the road, 2-0 ATS as an underdog, and 2-1 ATS in division games this season while the Los Angeles Lakers are 4-7 ATS overall, 2-3 ATS at home, 2-5 ATS as a favorite, and 2-2 ATS in division games on the year.

Both teams enter this game on three-game winning streaks which means one team will extend their winning streak to four games while the other will suffer their first loss in their last four games. Sacramento has dominated the series against Los Angeles having won seven of the previous ten and two of the last three games while going 7-3 ATS in the last ten and 2-1 ATS in the last three meetings. The Kings have also been the better team at covering the spread this season as they are 5-4 ATS overall and 2-0 ATS as an underdog while the Lakers are 4-7 ATS overall and 2-5 ATS as a favorite. As a result, I am taking the moneyline for the Sacramento Kings at -107 when they travel to face the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night.
