A California battle is set for Sunday’s NBA slate as the Sacramento Kings host the Los Angeles Lakers. The Kings come into this match with a 1-1 record while the Lakers are also sitting at 1-1. Check out our prediction below!
The Kings were beaten 120-116 by the Suns to open the season. They responded with a dramatic 105-104 home win over the Jazz with Sabonis hitting the go-ahead shot with seven seconds remaining.
Zach Lavine was at his best in the victory, dropping 31 points while drilling four three-pointers. It marks the second straight game that Lavine has scored 30 or more.
The Lakers suffered a defeat to the Warriors to open the season but were able to bounce back with a quality 128-110 home win over the Timberwolves on Friday.
Skinny Luka season is in full effect with the Lakers star putting on a show in the Lake Show’s opening two games. Doncic dropped 43 in the season opener before a 49 point, 11 rebound 8 assist performance in the recent win over Minnesota.
Doncic has had to pick up the slack with LeBron James still nursing an injury. The 40-year-old is still a few weeks away from a return.

Our Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
This is an interesting matchup with the Lakers’ Luka Doncic and the Kings’ Zach Lavine both going to be the top scoring option for their respective teams. Doncic thrives in a lot of iso, oftentimes resulting in the shot clock winding down. Lavine also gets his share of iso opportunities which is something that lends well towards backing the under.
Neither of these teams have been shooting a lot of threes, which is another reason to think this could be low scoring. Our Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers prediction: less than 230.5 goals.
