Sacramento vs Detroit Prediction: Bad Luck Follows the Kings

Prediction for the NBA match between Sacramento vs Detroit, which will take place on December 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

A series of defeats for the Kings was doubly unfortunate for Mike Brown's team, because all of their matches in this run were played at home, the Golden 1 Arena. First, the Kings played a close game against Denver (129:130), then lost twice to the Los Angeles Lakers (100:113 and 99:103), and then got crushed by Indiana (95:122).

This means they're now 50% behind in terms of victories. At the moment, the balance of victories at Sacramento is 13-17. In the Western Conference standings, the Californians are only 12th and are exactly 2.0 wins behind from the play-in zone.

For the Pistons, the game against Sacramento will be their third road trip in a row, and so far, J.B. Bickerstaff's team is doing pretty well in the tournament. First, Detroit took advantage of Phoenix's weaknesses and outscored the Suns 133-125 in a very efficient win, and then beat LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. The match was also a top match, ending with a score of 117:114.

This means that Detroit is back in the play-in zone of the East. The Pistons are currently in ninth position in the conference, but they've got a negative win-loss ratio of 13-17.

Detroit has been surprisingly great on offence lately. This could be down to the outstanding form of Cade Cunningham, who the new head coach J.B. Bickerstaff has really helped. Sacramento's defence isn't their strong point, so let's see the Pistons prove themselves again on the other side of the court. Let's bet on the total over, both total and individual Detroit. And we're going for Detroit not losing the assists too.
