The Sacramento Kings play host to the San Antonio Spurs in a battle between two teams with contrasting journeys, one trying to find their way, the other may have found theirs.
The Spurs continue to mix and match lineups to find the most potent unit. Thus far, the Spurs have not identified a lineup that will work as they enter this contest at 6-9. The Sacramento Kings, on the other hand, seem to be turning things around as they have won four straight games and are piling on points on the offensive end of the court. The Kings have scored at least 120 points in all four contests, including 153 points in their latest game.
Can the San Antonio Spurs slow down the Kings' offense? If not, it will be a long night for the Spurs faithful.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Sacramento Kings Injury Report
San Antonio Spurs big man Zach Collins remains out with a leg injury. Collins remains without a timetable for his return. The Spurs will also be without SG Romeo Langford, who will miss his third straight game due to the Covid-19 protocols implemented by the NBA.
Keegan Murray is the question mark for the Sacramento Kings. Murray has an injured back and is questionable for this game. If the Kings are without Keegan Murray's services, they could lose a bit of their firepower in a match-up where that would be useful.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Sacramento Kings Betting Prediction
The Sacramento Kings have been a revelation lately, putting together an offensive explosion few saw coming. The Kings have figured some things out and have struck a balance with six players contributing double-digit points every night out.
The balance of an inside-outside game helps, and for the first time in a long time, the Kings have a plethora of sharpshooters along the perimeter, including Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk. The Kings could be without Keegan Murray in this one, but I don't think it matters, given how well they are playing. I will stick with the red-hot Kings as they make it five wins in a row.
Prediction: Sacramento Kings -7 (-110) (O/U 236, -115)
