The Sacramento Kings will seek a fourth successive NBA victory when they host the Miami Heat next. They currently sit fifth in the Western Conference while the Heat are seventh in the East. The Kings have won their last three fixtures with two coming after the All-Star break. Mike Brown’s men have defeated both the Clippers and Nuggets in this period and will be full of confidence for this game. They are coming off a dominant 123-107 victory over the Clippers. It was the second successive game in which they had scored over 120 points. They have now won 33 matches and are six and a half games from top spot in the West. The Kings, who are averaging 118.6 points, will be without Alex Len and Vlatko Cancar for this match.

The Miami Heat won the first matchup of the season 115-106 earlier this month at home. A second win will see them secure the series for the first time since 2021. Erik Spoelstra’s men have been in excellent form this month and have won seven of their last nine games. They are currently on a three-game winning run which has seen them defeat the Bucks, Sixers, and Pelicans. The Southeast Division franchise returned from the All-Star break with a 106-95 victory over the Pelicans. This was their 31st win of the season and took them to six games above .500. The Heat are faring worse than the Kings healthwise and could be without five players for this trip. Tyler Hero is questionable with a knee issue and is the only one not ruled out. Terry Rozier, Josh Richardson, Orlando Robinson, and Dru Smith have all been ruled out.
