The Sacramento Kings will travel to the Rocket Arena to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA on Friday night. The Cavs (25-22) are sixth in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Kings (12-33) are 14th in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been a mixed bag all season and are now 6-4 in their last 10 games after grinding out a 94-87 victory over the Hornets on the road on Wednesday night.
It was far from an impressive night on offence for the Cavs, but they compensated with some excellent defence, grabbing 60 boards, while recording eight blocks and forcing 20 turnovers.
Cleveland are 14-11 at home this season but 1-3 in their last four at the Rocket Arena. Darius Garland, Max Struss and Sam Merrill are ruled out for the hosts through injury.
Meanwhile, after four consecutive wins last week, the Sacramento Kings have gone cold again, now riding a three-game losing streak following a 122-109 loss to the Raptors in midweek.
The Kings have the second-worst offensive rating and the fourth-worst defensive rating, which tells a story on its own. With their roster featuring many veterans, it’s clear that a rebuild is inevitable.
Sacramento have won just three of their 20 away games this season and are 0-7 on the road coming into this one. Keegan Murray will not feature for the visitors tonight.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
It is difficult to get behind the Kings, given their form this season, having only won 12 games to date and just three on the road. However, laying double digits on the Cavaliers does not feel like an option.
The Cavs are the least profitable team in the NBA this season at 16-29 ATS, and have only covered in one of their last 11 games when installed as a double-digit favourite. This is one we’d likely leave off accas for the day, but we’ll go with the Kings to cover this big spread as a standalone wager. Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Sacramento Kings prediction is Sacramento Kings +12.5.
