Game Preview
Tuesday night’s game between the Sacramento Kings and the Phoenix Suns will be a crucial one. With a 32-24 record going into this game, Sacramento is now the third seed in the Western Conference. Similar circumstances exist for Phoenix, which has a 31-27 record and is only 2.5 games behind the Kings in the standings going into this game. Despite the fact that both clubs are in the postseason hunt in the Western Conference, every game at this point in the season is still very important.
Given the state of this roster at the time of the trade deadline last week, the Kings made relatively few moves, which will almost certainly be the right course of action. After two strong outings against Dallas over the weekend, they have surpassed the Denver Nuggets as the NBA’s top offense with a 117.5 Offensive Rating this season.
The Kings’ offensive rating has increased to 127.3 during the course of their last four games, when Sacramento has been in full attack mode. The Kings are shooting 53.3% from the field in those four games, doing the majority of their damage on the interior, where they are averaging 62 points per game, which accounts for the roughly 10-point improvement.
Let’s check the latest picks, NBA news, stats and NBA expert picks for Kings vs Suns. We’ve plenty of NBA predictions for you to consider.
By acquiring Kevin Durant, the Phoenix Suns made the move that was arguably the biggest at the trade deadline. Even though the Suns were already expected to be a Western Conference powerhouse, the addition of Durant might be what propels this squad to the top. Durant won’t be playing in this game, but fortunately for the Suns, Devin Booker is back to 100 percent. Theoretically, that should give this offense a lot more offensive presence than we have seen over the past month and a half.
However, with an average of 25 minutes played per game since his comeback, Booker does seem to be on a minutes restriction. As a result, Phoenix’s offense is made much more difficult because its top scorer is only contributing in a very small capacity. As a result, even with Booker back in the lineup, the Suns’ offensive rating has only increased to 109.8.
