Smart Game Analysis
Los Angeles Clippers has a 78% chance of winning the game
The surging Clippers, riding a four-game win streak behind a healthy Kawhi Leonard, are poised to dominate a depleted Kings squad missing key stars Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine.
Key Analysis
- • Sacramento is severely shorthanded with Domantas Sabonis (knee) and Zach LaVine (ankle) out, leaving them without their primary playmaker and rebounder.
- • Kawhi Leonard is in peak form, coming off a career-high 55-point performance against Detroit.
- • The Clippers have won four straight games by double digits, while the Kings have lost five consecutive games and 10 of their last 14.
- • Sacramento's defense ranks 26th in the league, allowing 122.1 points per game, which spells trouble against a Clippers offense led by James Harden.
- • With Ivica Zubac out, Brook Lopez has stepped up effectively for LA, providing rim protection and spacing that Sacramento's rookie big men cannot match.
- • To pull off an upset, the Kings need a massive scoring night from DeMar DeRozan and a controlled, high-energy performance from Russell Westbrook.
