Prediction published on 26/12/2024, 05:05  by Thobelani Moyo | Modified on 26/12/2024 at 05:11 in NBA Predictions

The Sacramento Kings (13-17) will lock horns with the Detroit Pistons (13-17) at Golden 1 Center in Friday's cross-conference NBA clash. The Kings are 12th in the Western Conference, while the Pistons are ninth in the Eastern Conference. Below is our prediction for the match. 

The Sacramento Kings suffered their fifth loss in eight games as they succumbed to a convincing 122-95 home defeat against the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

This was the second successive match in which the Kings failed to reach the 100-point mark. However, that's the least of their troubles as they head into this clash, riding a four-match losing run. It's also worth noting that they have lost five of their eight games overall.

Their performances at the Golden 1 Center have been nothing to write home about as they have lost eight of their ten outings. In addition to that, they are currently on a four-match losing streak. 

The Detroit Pistons are slight underdogs in this matchup, but they are well-positioned to cause an upset on foreign territory and maintain their winning run. 

The Pistons picked up their second win on the bounce courtesy of a narrow 117-114 away victory against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.

Away from home, they have shown signs of consistency recording four wins in their last six matches and are on a two-match winning streak.
