Prediction published on 22/12/2024, 02:34  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 22/12/2024 at 02:40 in NBA Predictions

The in-form Indiana Pacers will travel to play the Sacramento Kings in their next NBA match. The Pacers have risen to eighth in the Eastern Conference whereas their hosts are 12th in the West. Below is our prediction for this tie.

The Kings are seeking to end a three-match losing run. Mike Brown’s men, who have struggled with their form all through the season, are coming off a back-to-back with the Lakers. They lost the most recent game 103-99.

The Kings’ three losses have all come at their Golden 1 Centre. Domantas Sabonis remains on the injury report with a back issue and is questionable for this game. Keegan Murray is also a doubt while Devin Carter is out.

The Pacers come into this match in a rich vein of form and will be confident of pilling more misery on their hosts. Rick Carlisle’s men have won their last three games.

They are coming off a 120-111 victory against the Sun to begin a three-game road trip out West. Indy, who had lost five in six before this purple patch, have improved to 13-15.

Aaron Nesmith, James Wiseman and Isaiah Jackson remain long-term injury absentees. The Pacers squeezed in a 126-121 victory the last time they were in Sacramento.
