The public is currently siding with the Suns in the NBA public betting splits. Phoenix is getting 60% of ATS handle and 74% of moneyline handle.

Phoenix and Sacramento are currently sixth and seventh, respectively, in the West, separated by just half a game. If the NBA playoff bracket was cemented today, the Suns would face the LA Clippers in the first round while the Kings would have to do battle with the Dallas Mavericks in the 7-vs-8 Play-In Game.

Kings Lose Three of Four in Concerning Fashion

Just 7-8 in their last 15 games and 1-3 in their past four, the Kings have been sliding down the standings recently. The team returned from a pretty successful seven-game road trip (5-2) only to lose at home to the NBA-worst Detroit Pistons (133-120). While they followed that up with a nice home win over defending-champion Denver (135-106), they were routed at OKC last time out (127-113) to start their current three-game road trip.

Malik Monk was excellent with 26 off the bench on 10-of-20 shooting but start point guard De’Aaron Fox was something of a liability. He went 6-of-17 from the floor for just 15 points and was a -27 while on the floor.

Still averaging 26.4 PPG and 5.4 AGP, Fox has been abysmal of late. He reached the 20-point plateau during Sacramento’s current 1-3 skid and is shooting just 39.4% from the field in that span.

The Kings currently sit 16th in Offensive Rating (116.9), 20th in Defensive Rating (116.2), and 17th in Net Rating (+0.5).

Suns Finding a Groove?

As evidenced by their atrocious 21-30-2 ATS record so far this season, expectations were much higher for the Suns entering the year. But Phoenix has, pretty quietly, gone 12-4 in its last 16 games to climb out of the Play-In Tournament zone of the standings, at least for the time being.

The biggest of the “Big Three”, Kevin Durant, has led the charge, now averaging 28.3 PPG for the year (fifth in the NBA) along with 6.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists (both second on the team). Devin Booker (28.0 PPG) is just behind Durant in scoring while averaging a team-high 7.1 assist per game. Newcomer Bradley Beal (18.7 PPG) isn’t having his best season as the Suns’ third option, shooting 49.3% from the field and just 35.8% from three.

Phoenix had a three-game win streak broken in heartbreaking fashion last time out, dropping a 113-112 decision at Golden State thanks to a last-second Steph Curry triple.

Booker led the SUns with 32 points on 11-of-21 shooting but, as a team, Phoenix only shot 45.7% from the field and 11-of-34 (32.4%) from three.

The poor offensive performance from the Suns was a rarity. They currently sit seventh in the NBA in Offensive Rating (118.0), along with 15th in D-Rating (114.8) and 11th in Net Rating (+3.1).

Kings vs Suns Prediction

Sacramento remains one of the hardest teams in the league to predict. One night, they’re taking down the defending champions by 19. The next, they’re losing to the worst team in the league by double-digits at home.

The recent skid has largely been a product of De’Aaron Fox playing well below his best (well below his baseline, for that matter). The Kings’ star guard isn’t injured and will eventually return to the form that’s made the Kings an outside NBA title contender. With Domantas Sabonis, the NBA’s leading rebounder, primed to dominate his post matchup with Jusuf Nurkic, this is a good spot to bet the Kings at long-ish odds.

When these teams met in Phoenix less than a month ago, the Suns emerged with a hard-fought two-point win (119-117), coming back from 16 down at halftime. There’s a good chance the Kings finish the job tonight, and +160 (38.6 implied win probability) is the right price.
