Phoenix Suns vs Sacramento Kings Prediction 2-13-24 Picks

The Sacramento Kings and the Phoenix Suns duke it out at the Footprint Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Kings vs Suns Prediction.

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings have been in a bit of a rut as they’ve lost three of their last four games overall and they will be hoping for a better performance in this one after getting scorched by the Thunder in a 127-113 road defeat on Sunday. Malik Monk led the team with 26 points on 10 of 20 shooting from the field, Domantas Sabonis tallied a triple-double of 21 points with 11 rebounds and 14 assists while De’Aaron Fox chipped in with 15 points and five assists. As a team, the Kings shot 48 percent from the field and 16 of 42 from the 3-point line, but they had no answers for the Thunder on the defensive end as they were always fighting an uphill battle after allowing 38 points in the second quarter. In fact, the Kings struggled mightily and trailed by as many as 24 points before they finished with a flurry of points to keep the final scores somewhat respectable.

Phoenix Suns

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in great form as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back after having their three-game win streak halted by the Warriors in a 113-112 road loss on Saturday. Devin Booker led the team with 32 points and six assists, Kevin Durant added 24 points with 10 rebounds and seven assists while Bradley Beal chipped in with 15 points, six rebounds and five assists. As a team, the Suns shot 45 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line as they went back and forth with the Warriors in a classic contest that remained with seven points from start to finish, only to come up painfully short as the Warriors’ Stephen Curry drained the game-winner with just 2.1 seconds left on the clock. The Suns will play against the Pistons after this game.

Kings vs Suns Prediction

The Kings are coming into this meeting low on confidence after getting shocked by the Thunder in a bad loss on Sunday, while the Suns were playing some of their best basketball of the season before they lost a heartbreaker to the Warriors on Saturday. The Kings are more than capable of pulling off the upset on the road, but the Suns have the advantage of an extra days rest, they’re playing at home and they’ve clearly been the more reliable team over the past three weeks or so.
