The Los Angeles Clippers (48-32) visit the Sacramento Kings (39-41) on Friday, April 11, 2025, at the Golden 1 Center.
This is the fourth time that the Clippers and Kings will face each other this season. So far, the Clippers have won the first three games by an average winning margin of 8.7 points. These are not exactly runaway games for the Clippers, but they still have the upper hand against the Kings.
It also helps that the Clippers have won their last six games, including a morale-boosting 134-117 victory over the Houston Rockets. Defense has been a solid asset for the Clippers in that span, as they've improved their defensive rating to an impressive 106.4. It is on this end of the floor that the Clippers have been consistent all season long.
On the flip side, the Kings have won three of their last four games. They're already locked in the 9th or 10th seed in the West, but they still want to secure homecourt advantage in the first game of the play-in.
The bad news for the Kings is that they'll miss the services of scoring guard Malik Monk. Starting forward Keegan Murray is also listed as questionable on the team's injury report, as he has missed the Kings' last three games.

Our Sacramento Kings vs LA Clippers Prediction
The Clippers have solidified their defense even further in the last six games, and they did not lose in that span. With their focus on defense and their stars playing good on offense, the Clippers could be a team to beat in the playoffs.
They have to take care of the Kings though, who are missing scoring guard Malik Monk and two-way forward Keegan Murray. Our prediction for the Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Clippers match is: Clippers (-6.5) cover the spread.Prediction:
