The Sacramento Kings and Orlando Magic will meet at Golden 1 Center in the NBA cross-conference clash. The Kings are ninth in the Western Conference table while the Magic are eighth in the Eastern Conference. Here's our match prediction. 

The Sacramento Kings have been a resilient team this season and that can be seen in their 25-24 record in 49 games, leaving them in the promotion play-off spots.

The Kings made headlines by trading De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs while bringing in Bulls guard Zach LaVine. However, LaVine was not in the starting lineup that beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-114 on the road due to personal reasons. 

The Kings have struggled for consistency, losing four of their last six outings. However, their home form has been impressive as they head into this clash boasting a seven-match winning streak. 

The Orlando Magic dropped to 24-27 on Monday night following a convincing 104-99 away defeat to the Golden State Warriors. 

In light of that result, the Magic have lost four consecutive matches portraying a side that has struggled for consistency. 

Away from home, they are currently in bad shape, losing seven consecutive matches. It has to be pointed out that they failed to reach the 100-point mark in six of those outings highlighting their offensive woes.
