Teams Preview
Los Angeles Lakers Preview
The Los Angeles Lakers put an end to their three match losing streak with a dominant win over the Golden State Warriors in their last outing at the Chase Center. Luka Doncic led the scoring with 26 points, while Lebron James scored 22 points and dished out 9 dimes.
The Lakers haven't been in the best of form's recently losing three of their last five matches, where they are averaging 112.4 points per game on the offensive end and 111.4 points per game on the defensive end. While their recent home record has also been similar to their recent form with a 2-3 record and all their recent losses at home have come by a margin of 10 or more.
The Lakers are an offensive powerhouse, driven by a high-efficiency scoring model that boasts a 49.9% field goal percentage and a 60.7% true shooting percentage. With an offensive rating of 117.2, they maximize their opportunities despite taking fewer shots per game (83.6) than many opponents.
Their ability to get to the charity stripe is a major factor, averaging 26.6 free throw attempts per contest. However, their defense is a mirror image of their offense, allowing 115.6 points per game with a 117.1 defensive rating.
Sacramento Kings Preview
Sacramento Kings enter this contest on the back off a clinical 121-130, 9 point win over the Dallas Mavericks on their trip to the American Airlines Center. Precious Achiuwa had a monstrous game on both ends of the floor where he scored 29 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. While Raynaud scored 22 points and Plowden coming off the bench was the key contributor with 19 points.
Like the Lakers, the Kings have had a mixed bag of form in recent matches with just two wins in their last five and they conceded over 120 points in all the five matches. Though they are out of the playoff contention, the Kings are looking for new stars for next season and expect bit of an inexperienced lineup for this fixture.
The Kings are facing significant challenges at this point of the season, particularly on the defensive end where they hold a league-high 120.8 defensive rating. While they are aggressive on the offensive glass with 11.2 offensive rebounds per game, their overall shooting efficiency lags behind at 46.2%.
Sacramento struggles from deep (3 point shooting), hitting just 33.8% of their threes, which contributes to a lower 110.1 offensive rating. They do move the ball well with 25.1 assists per game, but they must find a way to lower their opponent's field goal percentage (49.7%) if they want to stop their slide in the standings.
