It has been a completely different start for these two teams meeting on Wednesday night. The 6-2 Los Angeles Lakers will be on the road as they take on the 1-6 Sacramento Kings.
After LeBron left for the Philadelphia 76ers, it was obvious that the franchise was firmly in the hands of Luka Doncic. He has done nothing but play at an MVP level this season. Luka is averaging 38.3 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists per game. Austin Reaves has been a nice complement to Luka and Walker Kessler has been a defensive powerhouse averaging over 2 blocks and 1.5 steals per game to do along with his double-double average. They are coming off back-to-back wins over the Raptors and Heat. In those wins, they averaged a total of 255.5 points per game combined with their opponents.
Sacramento has one of the most exciting rookies in this year’s class. Darius Acuff Jr is already leading this team. He is their top scorer with a 26.3 points per game average and 2nd in assists per game with 6.1 per game. After starting the season off with a 6-game losing streak, Acuff and the Kings were able to defeat the Mavericks 115-110 on Monday night. The defense finally showed up as the Kings have been allowing over 124 points per game to opponents.

Our Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
While the Kings were able to pick up their 1st win by playing some decent defense, that is likely not to be the case in this one. They are double-digit home underdogs against these Lakers and are going to have the impossible task of keeping Luka Doncic under wraps. We expect the Lakers to take care of business here, and while they may not cover the number, they should score enough to push this one over the total.
Our prediction for Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers: Over 234.5
