Prediction

The Kings lost their last game 108-109 to the Hawks, missing out on a winning streak. Currently, the Kings are 8-7, ranked 11th in the Western Conference. Last week, De’Aaron Fox averaged 40.5 points, 7.3 assists, and a shooting percentage of 57.4%. The Kings went 2-2, and Fox was named the Western Conference Player of the Week. After missing three games, DeMar DeRozan is expected to return for the game against the Clippers. Domantas Sabonis has participated in full practice over the past two days and is also expected to return against the Clippers.

The Clippers won their last game 104-93 against the Magic. Currently, the Clippers are 9-7, ranked 8th in the Western Conference. In their last game, the Clippers grabbed a total of 49 rebounds, 25 more than the Magic, which was the key factor in their victory. So far this season, the Clippers have grabbed 198 total rebounds, leading the league in total rebounds. They average 12.4 rebounds per game, ranking third, behind only Nikola Jokić and Sabonis.

The Kings are poised for action tomorrow with Sabonis and DeRozan both set to return, which should bring a strong boost to their game plan. However, Powell will still be missing for the Clippers. His absence is crucial for the Clippers’ scoring. Despite Powell’s absence, the Clippers won their last game, but they had 22 turnovers. If they continue to make excessive turnovers tomorrow, the Kings may take advantage of this and defeat the Clippers.

Pick: Kings -2.5 (Betvictor)
