Sacramento Kings - Houston Rockets (-4.5) Playing in the morning in California, the Sacramento Kings, who are no longer interested in the outcome of the rest of the season, face Houston Rockets hoping to secure a place in the top four that is equivalent to the postseason seat advantage.
Sacramento Kings:
The year for the home team started without any particular aspirations, being a youthful set with great prospects, but without the necessary quality. Nevertheless, they managed to overtake and have been in the playoffs debate until recently. Since March their racing performance has fallen and while the main co-fugitive Lakers cast a white towel, they eventually lost all hope of continuing in the postseason. They do not have a first-round pick for the upcoming draft, so any tanking scenario is judged. A record-breaking 3-2 road trip report was completed with a big win against Spurs. So far there have been no known racing problems.
Houston Rockets:
The Rockets team is in pretty good shape and it would not be an exaggeration to say that if it had not made this start early at the beginning of the year, it would occupy the second place on a regular basis for the second consecutive time. Harden, the undisputed leader with all the players, contributes to the difference, the excellent defensive function, which in combination with the limited possessions keeps the opponents scoring too low. Guests need the victory at all costs, on the one hand, to maintain the difference between two victories and the Jazz seat advantage and on the other hand to seek an even better place. Doubtless Gerald Green.
Assessment:
The Sacramento is definitely a competitive set, but it is indifferent to the remaining games. So against the Houston Rockets who need the victory, it will certainly not be easy. I choose, so, it 2 with handicap -4.5 in 1.83 on Bet 365.
