The Sacramento Kings (18-52) will host the Philadelphia 76ers (37-32) on Thursday evening. This will be the 2nd meeting between these squads. The 76ers prevailed in the previous meeting back in late January, in Philadelphia. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid combined for 87 of the team’s 113 points in the 2-point victory.
For the 76ers, it has been tough sledding since their leading scorer, Tyrese Maxey, has been out with an injury. They will continue to be without Maxey, but there is a chance that Joel Embiid will suit up for this game. He has not played since February 26th. Even with Embiid, it will be hard to make up the 40 points that Maxey provided in the previous matchup with these Kings.
Sacramento understands the situation that the 76ers are facing with the injuries to their key players. The Kings have been without Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis, and De’Andre Hunter since February. However, even without 3 of their top players, the Kings have been playing solid basketball lately. They have won 4 of their last 6 games and are still showing fight towards the latter part of this season.
Even if Embiid can go in this game, the 76ers are not going to have an easy time here in Sacramento. The road has not been kind to Philadelphia, as they have continued to struggle against the spread on their recent road trips.

Our Sacramento Kings vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The absence of Maxey has been a consistent issue for these 76ers. They have not had a role player truly emerge in the main scoring role. Last game, no one on the 76ers was able to reach even 15 points in a loss to Denver. We believe they will have a tough time keeping DeRozan in check. He was held to 2 points in their loss to the Spurs on Tuesday, but will be primed to break out again as he did against Utah and Charlotte recently. In those two games, he combined for 80 total points. The points might not be necessary in this one, but we will take them as a safety blanket anyway.
Our prediction for Sacramento Kings vs Philadelphia 76ers: Sacramento +3.5
