Sacramento Kings (13-14) will host LA Lakers (14-12) on Thursday night at the Golden 1 Center in a thrilling Western Conference battle. The Sacktown will look to bounce back from the narrow 1-point loss to the Nuggets on Tuesday as they continue to recover from the early-season slump. They are 8 games off the top and have won 5 of their previous 10 matches. Their campaign has been hit by injuries to key players, leaving them unable to hit the .500 mark. The Lakers, on the other hand, have struggled to impress after a hit start to the season. They have dropped to 10th after winning only four of their last 10 matches. The Lakers are coming off a 40-point Anthony Davis show against the Grizzlies on Monday and will be happy to build on that performance.

Our Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

The Kings have several key players listed as questionable, and so do the Lakers. They could be without Domantas Sabonis and Keegan Murray, who are nursing back and ankle injuries, respectively. Sabonis has been one of their star performers this season, scoring an average of 21.5 points per game. Kevin Huerter's availability is also subject to a game-time decision. However, LA Lakers could suffer the most from injuries, with six players on the injury list. That includes LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who picked up foot injuries in their last assignment. They don't stand a chance if these two don't make it to the matchday team sheet. Our prediction for Sacramento Kings vs LA Lakers: Sacramento Kings to cover -3.5 spread
