Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Sacramento Kings Preview

The Cavs still have the best record in the NBA at 56-12 despite losing back-to-back games for the first time since late January. Their 16-game winning streak was snapped by the Orlando Magic on Sunday, while they lost steam in the second half against the LA Clippers on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Kings remain a game above .500 with a record of 34-33. They beat the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, but lost Domantas Sabonis to a sprained ankle. Sabonis will miss the next 10 days, so the rest of the team needs to step up to prevent any slip-ups in the standings.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Sacramento Kings Predictions

The Cavaliers are still favored to beat the Kings despite their two-game losing streak. The hosts are without Domantas Sabonis, so they are at a disadvantage. However, the Cavs are also playing the second game of a back-to-back, so an upset could be on the cards.

The prediction is a close win for the Kings, with the total going OVER 234.5 points.
