Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers meet for the second time this season. Sacramento last played Monday in a 132-120 win versus the Cavaliers while LA is completing a back-to-back set having beaten the Grizzlies 134-107 on Tuesday.
Season Series
Although the Lakers hold the all-time record between the clubs with 281 victories in 446 matches the teams split their four meetings last season.
Sacramento is up 1-0 this season having bested the Lakers in overtime 132-127 on October 29th.
Sacramento Kings
With De’Aaron Fox back on the court the Kings look more cohesive and akin to the squad who shocked the league last season. Sacramento is 3-1 with Fox in the lineup and 2-3 without him.
The point guard is averaging 30.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 36.7% from deep on 7.5 attempts per game.
Still, teams aren’t resting on the Kings knowing they love to push pace and score in bunches which means Sacramento is getting opponents’ best efforts this year.
Kings Stats
After three weeks of play, the Kings rank 16th offensively (111.8), and 17th defensively (113.2), with a net differential of minus -1.4 ranking 18th overall.
Like their record, Sacramento has a 5-4 against the spread performance through nine games.
Kings Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Alex Len, C (OUT —ankle)
- Trey Lyles, PF (OUT indefinitely—calf)
Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James and Anthony Davis were both listed on the injury report Tuesday but played in the In Season match versus the Grizzlies making quick work of them.
The question is will James and AD both play in a back-to-back set given this is a Pacific divisional rival?
James is averaging 25.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game while AD averages a double-double of 23.9 points and 12 rebounds along with 3.7 assists and 3.0 blocks per game.
Lakers Stats
Three weeks into the season the Lakers rank 26th offensively (109.0), and 21st defensively (114.0), with a net differential of minus -4.9 ranking 24th overall.
LA is not one of the better bets with a 3-7 record against the spread through 10 games.
Lakers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jarred Vanderbilt (OUT indefinitely—heel)
- Jalen Hood-Schifino (OUT indefinitely—knee)
- Gabe Vincent, PG (OUT indefinitely—knee)

Free Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
Both teams have dealt with injury woes but the Kings had their best player out whereas the Lakers have missed supporting players. And, to be fair if LA is leaning into their reason for struggling is because Jarred Vanderbilt is out then there are more issues beneath the surface.
Darvin Ham is tweaking the starting lineup which equated to moving Austin Reaves to the bench and Cam Reddish into the starting rotation although I’m not sure this is a permanent move.
This is the first of a six-game Western road trip for the Kings who’ll want to get out to a solid start after beginning 1-3 on the road. Their 3-point sharpshooters (Huerter/Murray) seemed to find their range (18-37) in the past two games which should be the difference in this match.
