The Miami Heat will travel to the Golden 1 Center to face the Sacramento Kings in the NBA on Tuesday night. The Kings (12-31) are 14th in the Western Conference standings, while the Heat (22-21) are eighth in the East. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Sacramento Kings have been one of the biggest disappointments this season, but they were on a four-game win streak before losing to the Trail Blazers 117-110 on Sunday.
On the positive, Domantas Sabonis has now returned after 27 games out through injury, which should help the team’s interior play and rebounding. Russell Westbrook is also starting to find consistency and led the team with 23 points last time out.
The Kings are 9-14 at home but have won their last three games against this opponent. Keegan Murray is ruled out for the home side.
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have been struggling to string together a run of results and were handed their fifth loss in seven last night when they were thrashed 135-112 by the Warriors.
The Heat are the fifth-highest scoring team in the NBA this season, but they shot a dismal 39% from the field and made 13 of 45 from range against the Dubs. Norman Powell top-scored for the team with 21 points.
Miami have struggled on the road this season, now 7-14 to date. They will also be missing Terry Rozier and Tyler Herro for this match.

Our Sacramento Kings vs Miami Heat Prediction
While the Sacramento Kings have been a major disappointment this season, they have improved lately, covering in four of their last five games, and arguably played their best ball across this period.
The Heat are a very good side on offence, but they were ice-cold against the Dubs and enter this match with zero days' rest. The Kings have only won 12 games this season, but one of them was by 16 points against this opponent last month, and we fancy them to cover as the underdog in this one. Our Sacramento Kings vs Miami Heat prediction is Sacramento Kings +2.5.
If your team in the Sacramento Kings and Miami Heat game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
