Prediction published on 23/12/2025, 04:13  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 23/12/2025 at 04:27 in NBA Predictions

The Sacramento Kings will host the Detroit Pistons in their next NBA match, looking to build on recent positives. The two sit on polar opposites in their respective conferences, with the Kings at rock bottom in the West and the Pistons top in the East. Read on for our prediction.

The Kings earned a hard-fought victory over the visiting Rockets last time out. Needing to snap a five-game losing streak, Doug Christie’s men won in OT 125-124. That saw them improve to seven wins.

Sacramento have been one of the whipping boys this term, losing 22 fixtures. Dennis Schroder, who is dealing with an ankle issue, has been listed as day-to-day in recent injury reports.

Domantas Sabonis, Drew Eubanks, and Zach LaVine remain out injured.

The Pistons are playing on the second night of a back-to-back. They have won four of five such games, so they will approach this one confident of another win. J.B. Bickerstaff’s men are flying high this season.

They've won 23 of 29 games, and only one other team has produced a better run. Detroit defeated the Blazers 110-102 last time out to begin a five-game road trip out West.

The win was their second on the trot, keeping them 2.5 games clear of their closest challengers in the East. Jalen Duren, who was listed on the injury report ahead of the Portland game, scored 26 points and added 10 boards.
