The Los Angeles Lakers will travel to face the Sacramento Kings in the NBA on Tuesday. Can the Lakers brush aside their recent setbacks and return to winning ways against the Kings? Here is our prediction.
The Sacramento Kings finally snapped a long winless run on Monday against the Houston Rockets. The Kings shot 48% from the field and 35% from beyond the arc to defeat the Rockets 118–98, ending their seven-game losing streak.
However, Doug Christie's side will face a tough task replicating that victory on Tuesday. Apart from their dwindling fortunes, six of their last seven NBA encounters against the Los Angeles Lakers have ended in defeat. This includes three consecutive losses in their most recent home matchups against the Lakers.
For the Lakers, Tuesday's clash is an opportunity to bounce back from two consecutive defeats to the San Antonio Spurs (107–91) and the Milwaukee Bucks (105–101). JJ Redick's men head into this clash on a respectable 8–4 record in their last 12 away games and have their recent superior head-to-head record against the Kings to count on.
