The Sacramento Kings and the Memphis Grizzlies collide at the FedExForum on Monday night. Here’s a Kings vs Grizzlies Prediction.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings are starting to heat up again as they are now gunning for a fourth straight win after taking down the Mavericks in a 120-115 road win on Saturday. De’Aaron Fox led the team with 34 points and five assists on 13 of 24 shooting, Harrison Barnes added 20 points, Kevin Huerter scored 18 points while Domantas Sabonis tallied 17 points with 11 rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Kings shot 53 percent from the field and 11 of 30 from the 3-point line as they poured in 34 points in the second quarter to build a 23-point lead, before they held off a late charge from the Mavericks who cut the margin to three points with 7.0 seconds remaining.

Memphis Grizzlies
Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their last seven games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back here after having their three-game win streak halted by the Pacers in a 116-110 road loss last night. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the team with 25 points, Vince Williams added 20 points while GG Jackson chipped in with 18 points on six of nine shooting off the bench. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 46 percent from the field and 11 of 30 from the 3-point line as they got off to a quick start to take the lead into halftime, only to let it go to waste in the third quarter where they leaked 41 points to fall behind by 12 points.

Kings vs Grizzlies Prediction
The Kings are almost completely healthy, they are bak to playing good basketball and they have already thashed the Grizzlies by 123-92 back on Dec 31. The Grizzlies have done well to keep winning games despite the growing injury list, but they are playing this one on zero days rest, which will test their depth even further. With that being said, I’m expecting the Kings to get the job done here, so I’ll lay the points in this spot.
