Philadelphia 76ers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction: Is there any chance for the Kings to break the disappointing streak?

Philadelphia has beaten Sacramento State in seven previous head-to-head meetings. Is there any chance for the Kings to break this bad streak?

The Seven Speakers have improved their offense considerably with James Harden back on the court. In two of the three previous games, the team scored more than 130 points. When they failed to reach that mark, they lost 123:132 (108:108) overtime to Houston. In addition, during the same stretch, Philadelphia beat the Los Angeles Lakers in overtime, 132:122 (120:120) and Charlotte 131:113. The team is now 14-12 and fifth in the Eastern Conference standings.

While one of the team's leaders returned to the Philadelphia roster, Sacramento Kings can't count on one of their top players, D'Aron Fox, lately. In his absence, the Kings have developed severe problems on offense. However, the defensive game can compensate for them. So in two games without Fox, Sacramento Kings won and lost. First, the Kings beat a powerful Cleveland, 106:95, then lost to the New York Knicks, 99:112. Sacramento is 14-11 and fifth in the Western Conference.

In the game against Philadelphia, Sacramento State will again be unable to help De'Aaron Fox, the team's leading scorer with 22.6 points per game average. The Kings should not expect much from the offense in the upcoming game. At the same time, Mike Brown's team has been improving on defense from game to play, as evidenced by the two previous Sacramento State games against the Knicks and Cavaliers. Let's not look for a winner here but rather play a neutral, low-scoring game. The good thing is that Philadelphia is also capable of good defense - Doc Rivers' team is third in defensive efficiency this season.
