The spiraling Sacramento Kings will host the stuttering Houston Rockets in their next NBA assignment. Sacramento enter this match having slipped to the foot of the Western Conference standings and are more than 10 games behind their fifth-placed visitors. Here is our prediction for this match.

The Kings have won just one of their last 10 matches and are on a five-game losing streak. This alarming run of results have seen the team fall to having the worst record in the West.

It has put enormous pressure on head coach Doug Christie and questions about his ability to lead the team. The Kings, who have compiled a dismal 6-22 record, are on the second night of a back-to-back. They lost 98-93 away to the Blazers on night one.

The Rockets are also on the second night of a back-to-back. Things fared much better for Ime Udoka’s men on the first night, and they will arrive confident of piling more misery on their hosts.

The Rockets, who are halfway through a six-game road trip, snapped a two-game skid with a big win in Denver. Having lost just days before in OT to the Nuggets, Houston dominated from beyond the arc in the follow-up and won 115-101.

Their 17th win of the season kept them nine games above .500. The Rockets lead this series with the Kings 1-0 after a dominant 121-95 victory at home earlier in the month.
