Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers prediction
The Sacramento Kings are a capable team that's had success on the road and has won 6 of the last 7 meetings against the Lakers. I wouldn't talk you off the ledge if looking at the Kings and the free bucket. With that said, the Kings are having a rough week, while the Lakers are enjoying their best stretch of the season. LeBron James has reached into another level, Russell is coming off a monster game, and the vibe around the Lakers just feels different. The Lakers have a little pep in their step at the moment. We're only laying a bucket. Give me the Lakers.
