The Los Angeles Lakers play the Sacramento Kings at home next in the NBA as they look to end their losing streak. The Kings enter on a positive note after winning two of their three games for only the third time this season. Will the Lakers get the job done once again after their 127-120 victory over Sacramento earlier this season? Find out in this match prediction!
The Lakers just took a Boxing Day beating from the Houston Rockets (119-96) to extend their losing run to three straight games. The Suns and Clippers won their two prior, but what was most glaring was the Lakers' notably low output. For a team that was top-5 in PPG (now 14th with 116.9), netting 88, 108, and 96 marked a low point for LA.
In truth, that low output has now seen them lose back-to-back NBA games for just the first time this season. They must now face a Kings side who just cracked the Dallas Mavericks’ defence open for a 113-107 win.
Sacramento went the distance with the 1st-seed Pistons in their 136-127 defeat in the prior game, which was right after their OT win over the Rockets (125-124). The Kings look to be getting their house back in order, but defeating the Lakers at home is going to be a different ball game entirely.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
With the Kings building momentum just when the Lakers have slumped, it's hard to see them losing by over 16.5 points. The Lakers have not lost back-to-back games for the first time, but have now lost three in a row. While variance is part of the game, much of that decline is due to their reduced output and defensive decline.
The Lakers now allow the 5th-most FG%, which the rising Kings are poised to capitalise on. Hence, our Los Angeles Lakers vs Sacramento Kings prediction is Sacramento Kings +16.5 points.
