Saturday night in the Association sees Sacramento seeking revenge as they host the Los Angeles Lakers for the second time in three nights. The Kings come into this contest sitting 12th in the Western Conference with a 13-15 record while the Lakers are seventh at 15-12. Here’s our match prediction for this California clash!

These two teams faced off Thursday night in this gym with the home team Kings falling to a 113-100 defeat. The loss marked the second in a row for Sacramento and the tight competition in the West means they’re now out of the play-in spots.

The Kings haven’t had much luck at the Golden 1 Center this season where they’ve posted just a 6-9 record which includes dropping the last two in a row.

The Lakers have blown hot and cold so far with a third of the season in the books. They’re only just beginning to recover following a disastrous stretch which saw them lose eight times in 11 appearances prior to their current winning streak.

An impressive 116-110 home win over the red-hot Grizzlies preceded Thursday night’s success as they look to string together three wins for the first time in a month. Austin Reaves led the scoring in the win over the Kings with 25 while Anthony Davis posted 21 points and 20 rebounds.
