The LA Lakers welcome the Sacramento Kings looking to maintain their 100% start. Here’s a look at the stats and a prediction for this match.

LA are second in the West standings after winning their opening two games while the Kings are 10th. The Lakers have won their opening two matches, both as hosts.

They claimed a seven-point win against the Timberwolves to start their season and then saw off the Suns 123-116. Anthony Davis has been key to this blistering start. He is averaging 35 points and is the only Laker putting up at least 20 a night.

J.J Redick’s men are averaging 116.5 points and holding teams to just under 110 points.

The Kings started the season with a close 117-115 loss at home against the Timberwolves. This result mirrored their lackluster pre-season in which they lost all five friendlies.

They haven’t played since then so they’ve had ample time to tweak a few things.

Mike Brown’s men swept LA last season in the regular season, winning all four matchups, two on the road. They have won five straight in this fixture and this should have them confident of earning their first win of the campaign.

The Kings had three players score over 20 points against the T-wolves with new recruit DeMar DeRozan leading the way with 26.
