Prediction published on 07/02/2024, 02:09  by Kennedy Kechula in NBA Predictions

The Sacramento Kings will be at home to welcome the Detroit Pistons for their next NBA regular season assignment. They come into this matchup as the fifth-best team in the Western Conference while Detroit is bottom in the East. The Kings have won 29 of the 49 matches they have so far contested. Eleven of those victories have come in 18 matchups with teams from the East including one over Detroit. Mike Brown’s men won the reverse match a month ago in Detroit and have now won three straight against the Pistons. With their current form, they will be confident of another win. The Kings have won six of their last eight games though they are coming off of a defeat. Ending a seven-game road trip, Sacramento were hammered 136-110 in Cleveland. Sasha Vezenkov has missed the last seven games due to an ankle injury and is listed as ‘Questionable’ for this game.

The Detroit Pistons find themselves again suffering a string of losses. Monty Williams’ men, who possess the worst record in the league, have lost their last three matches. The most recent was inflicted by the Magic who won 111-99. This was Detroit’s 43rd defeat in 49 matches so far this season. Twenty of those losses have come in 22 away matches. Isaiah Stewart, who is averaging 11 points a game, has missed the last three matches and will continue to be sidelined. The Pistons are in the bottom seven for both points scored and allowed. They are giving up 122.3 points which is the 27th-worst record and scoring 112.6 which is only good for 23rd place.
