The Kings are entering this game with a 45-34 record overall and they are 23-15 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder in their last game, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the New Orleans Pelicans still to be played on Thursday night.

The current betting odds have the Suns listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Suns have looked really good in their games this season with their 47-33 record overall which has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West right now. They have looked good in their road games this year with their 22-17 road record and they are right on the cusp of climbing into a playoff spot in the West, just half a game behind the Pelicans in the last playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Kings have looked good in their games this season with their 45-34 record overall which has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West. They have looked good on their home court too with their 23-15 home record. They haven't looked great in their games lately though. The Kings are only 5-5 in their last 10 games and they are coming off a loss in their last one. They are also in a much worse situation here since they are playing this game on a back-to-back with a tough game against the Pelicans the night before. The Suns have been slightly hotter lately with their 6-4 record in their last 10 games and they have some momentum from a win over the Clippers in their last one. Unlike the Kings, the Suns aren't on a back-to-back here either so they are going to be rested and looking for a win in this game to try and sneak into the last playoff spot in the West. The best way to place a bet here is on the Suns to cover the spread in this game.
