The Kings are going through a tough stretch with just three wins in the past 10 games. They are also in a battle with the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns for the final two play-in spots in the West. They have a 0.5-game advantage over Dallas and a 1.5-game lead over Phoenix. So, this game is very crucial to extend the lead.

Sacramento is coming off of a 128-107 win against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. The win snapped a four-game losing streak. Domantas Sabonis led the team with a double-double of 22 points and 19 rebounds. Zach LaVine was the leading scorer with 29 points.

Domantas Sabonis’ points total is set at 15.5. He is coming off of a good game and is favored to go over by the oddsmakers as well. Bet on the over.

Paolo Banchero’s points total is set at 29.5. While the oddsmakers don’t favor him to go over, we do, as he crossed that mark in four straight games.

Sacramento Kings vs Orlando Magic prediction

The oddsmakers favor the Kings slightly to get a win on the road. We, however, expect the home team to get a win. This should be a fairly high-scoring game with the team total surpassing the 218.5-point mark.
