LA Lakers (17-13) will look to make it two wins on the bounce on Sunday morning when they host Sacramento Kings (13-18) at the Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers are coming off a hard-fought 113-115 win against the Warriors on the road on Christmas Day. Austin Reaves bagged a triple-double after scoring 26 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds. However, LeBron James was the leading scorer with 31 points and 10 assists. The duo will be rubbing their hands at the prospects of facing the struggling Kings, who are on a five-game slide. The Kings suffered a painful 1-point defeat to the Pistons on Thursday night despite De'Aaron Fox scoring 26 points and assisting 4. Interestingly, two of their last five defeats have been against the Lakers at home. They are up against an uphill battle on Sunday.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Lakers are the heavy favorites here despite winning only five of their last 10 matches. They have been solid at the Crypto.com Arena this season, winning nine of their 13 assignments. The Lakers also have a solid 14-7 record against Western Conference rivals and should comfortably add to that tally on Sunday. LA has several players who could be fit for this matchup, including Anthony Davis (ankle). Davis has been highly impressive for them, leading the scoring charts with an average of 25.7 points per match. The Kings, on the other hand, could welcome back Domantas Sabonis from illness. Still, we cannot see them getting a win this weekend. Our prediction for LA Lakers vs Sacramento Kings: LA Lakers for the win.
