Kings vs Suns Prediction

The Kings are keeping an eye on Keegan Murray who is questionable for this one, while the Suns are still missing Damion Lee. The Kings haven’t been at their best recently, but they were inches away from taking down the Bucks in overtime on Sunday, while the Suns are starting to heat up now that they have all their key players healthy for the first time this season. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Kings pulled off the minor upset on the road, but the Suns are a team on the rise at the moment and I think they can maintain their momentum with another win and cover at this reasonable line.
