The Kings are coming into this game with a 23-40 record overall and they are 8-22 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 4 game losing streak that they were on. Their 4 losses in that span were against the Brooklyn Nets, the Chicago Bulls, and the Denver Nuggets twice while their win came against the Oklahoma City Thunder in their last game. They still have a game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Thursday night. In their game against the Thunder, De'Aaron Fox led the team in points in that game with 29 while Trey Lyles was next on the team with 24 points. Harrison Barnes also scored 23 points in that one as well. Fox led the team in assists in that game with 10 while Domantas Sabonis led the team in rebounds with 16. They were 56.3% from the field, 32.3% from 3-point range, and 76.7% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 110.2 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 115 PPG against them. The Kings have an ATS record of 29-34 this season and their O/U record is 33-29-1.

 

 

The Spurs are coming into this game with a 24-38 record overall and they are 11-18 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Washington Wizards while their 2 losses came against the Miami Heat and the Memphis Grizzlies in their last game. Lonnie Walker off the bench led the team in points in that game with 22 while Dejounte Murray was next on the team with 21 points. Murray led the team in assists in that game with 8 while Jakob Poeltl led the team in rebounds with 10. They were 41.4% from the field, 28.1% from 3-point range, and 73.7% from the free throw line with their shots in that game.

The Spurs have an ATS record of 32-29-1 this season and their O/U record is 33-27-2.

 

 

The Kings have not been playing well coming into this game as they have lost 4 straight games but they are coming off of a win in their last game. That win was against the Thunder though, one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, and they have been getting blown out in a lot of their recent losses. They are going up against a Spurs side that has also not been playing well this season and they are coming into this game after losing 2 straight games. They have actually played their last 8 straight games on the road and this will be their first game back at home since February 4. This is going to be a close game between two very bad teams this season but the Spurs should have a lot of energy being back at home here for the first time in a long time and they should be able to edge the Kings out here. The Spurs will win this game by just a few points.

"He's a beautiful player. What else can you say about him? It's not just that he's athletic. Everybody says, ‘He's athletic.' Somebody says, ‘He's a freak of nature,' because he's so fast. ...
