Los Angeles Lakers vs. Sacramento Kings predictions
ESPN: Kings have a 59% chance to win
According to ESPN's Matchup Predictor, the Sacramento Kings have a 59.4% chance of beating the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
Action Network: Pick Lakers -1
Michael Fiddle writes: "The last five games for L.A. have been incredibly impressive. Its three wins came against the Thunder, Bucks and Wolves — all of which are top two teams in their respective conference. The two losses came against the defending champion Nuggets and the Kings. In the game against the Kings just one week ago, the Lakers got up by 20 points early before quickly relinquishing the lead and ultimately losing the game. Is this an emerging revenge spot? Usually, when teams play two games in short order, we see a split in winners. This is especially true when the favorite in Game 2 was the team that lost Game 1."
BetMGM: Lakers will win
Staff writes: "The winning team model predicts the Lakers will win Wednesday‘s game with 56.6% confidence, factoring in game simulations, player injuries, key player performances and recent matchups for both Lakers and Kings."
Covers: Kings +3
Kenny Ducey writes: "With that, I think the Kings will be fired up as an underdog, a spot where they’ve covered the spread 61.9% of the time this season. Expect L.A. to struggle mightily in defending the 3-point line against a Sacramento team that has shot the three better at home, and a team that may be heating up given what we saw yesterday."
