Lakers vs Kings NBA Preview
Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic continues to tear up the Association to start the season and is coming off a 42-point performance heading into tonight's matchup against the Sacramento Kings.
The Lakers have ridden Doncic's hot start to a 6-2 record, good for fourth place in the Western Conference.
Meanwhile, despite finding a potential star in rookie Darius Acuff Jr., it's been the same old story for Sacramento.
The Kings are just 1-6 to start the year. That said, they are coming off their first win of the season, a 115-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks behind 25 points from Acuff.
The Kings shot 52% from the floor and 44% from 3-point range in that game, and they'll have to stay hot if they hope to keep up with the Lakers.
Lakers vs Kings Pick, Betting Analysis
Unfortunately for Kings fans, slowing down Luka and the Lakers seems like a long shot.
The Kings enter this matchup with the third-worst defensive rating in the NBA — and with an 11.5-point spread, this game has a chance to get ugly.
That bodes well for our bet on Quentin Grimes.
The Lakers' backup guard is averaging 8.5 points per game on a .533 expected field goal percentage.
Grimes should get some extra time to cook against the Kings in a potential blowout, who allow the highest opponent field goal percentage to opposing guards this season.
Our PRO Prop projections have Grimes expected to score 9.46 points tonight. With a point total of 7.5, that's a 19.4% edge.
Pick: Quentin Grimes Over 7.5 Points (-118, FanDuel)
