Clippers vs Kings Key Stats

In their season opener, the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Los Angeles Lakers 103-97, producing a strong defensive effort. The Clippers outrebounded the Lakers 58-38 and held their rivals to a field goal percentage of 35.1 and a 3-point percentage of 20.0 (9 for 45).

On the flip side, Clippers turned the ball over a staggering 22 times and made 46.3% of their field goals and 31.0% of their triples (9 for 29).

After being sidelined by a knee injury for the 2021–22 season, Kawhi Leonard returned to action. The Claw finished with 14 points and seven rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench.

The Kings' season got off to a poor start at home against the Portland Trail Blazers, losing 115–108. In his first game in charge, Mike Brown's Sacramento surrendered 64 points in the second half. Only 11 turnovers were forced by the Kings, who only managed 38 points while giving up 56 points in the paint.

De'Aaron Fox, the first player from Sacramento to have at least 30 points, five rebounds, and five assists in a season opener since Oscar Robertson in 1966, led the charge with 33 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.

In his first game with the Kings, Kevin Huerter scored 23 points, while Domantas Sabonis finished with just 13 points, five assists, and four rebounds in 33 minutes.



Clippers vs Kings Best Picks and Prediction

The Kings could lose another home game, as the Clippers have a much better defense than the Trail Blazers. LA has a lot of depth, with Leonard and Paul George healthy again. Ivica Zubac also has a good matchup here and could have another big game.

If the Kings want to seriously contend in the playoffs, they must get better at both ends of the field. In their last 17 home games against the Clippers, who are the second-strongest favorites to win the West, they have a 1-16 straight-up record and a 5-12 ATS mark.

Pick: Ivica Zubac over 11.5 points (-120)

Prediction: Clippers -3 (-110)
