Sacramento Kings vs. Phoenix Suns Prediction

The Kings currently have a record of 11-8, and their last game was against the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA season tournament semifinals, which they lost due to poor shooting night.

Despite the loss, the Kings are confident in their championship-level roster, led by former Kentucky standout De'Aaron Fox.

Fox has been averaging an impressive 30.3 points per game.

Domantas Sabonis has also been putting up big numbers with an average of 19.0 points per game, 11.9 rebounds, and 7.1 assists, making him one of the best big men in basketball.

Malik Monk has also been playing a crucial role as the sixth man and has been averaging 14 points per game.

The Suns, on the other hand, will be missing two of their big three stars.

Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant will be out for Friday night's game.

This will be just the second game of the season that Durant has missed.

Durant leads the Suns in scoring, racking up 31.0 points per game.

The Suns will rely heavily on Devin Booker, who has been averaging 27.3 points per game and a team-best 8.2 assists.

Grayson Allen, a former Duke standout, has been a pleasant surprise for the team, shooting the ball great from deep this season.

The Suns' offense ranks 11th in points per game (115.5).

Let’s dive into my prop lock of the night.

Sacramento Kings vs. Phoenix Suns Pick

This is a great spot for the Kings' big man.

Phoenix is one of the worst teams in basketball at defending the paint.

The Suns' defense ranks 24th in the NBA, allowing opponents 53.4 points per game in the paint.

Sabonis has averaged over this number this season and will soar over in this favorable matchup tonight.
