The Kings are coming into this game with a 5-4 record this season and they have been starting to heat up recently. They have won their last 3 straight games and just got Fox back in their 12 point win over the Cavaliers in their last game. They are going up against a Lakers team that is 6-5 this season and they have also been heating up recently with 3 straight wins. As well as they have been playing recently, the Lakers have also been beating up on a lot of bad teams during this streak. They have won their last 3 straight but they barely beat the Suns who were missing Devin Booker and they also beat the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies who are 2 of the worst teams in the NBA right now with 3-7 and 2-9 records respectively. The Lakers also blew out the Grizzlies at home in their last game which was also last night so even though they are at home here, they are still an older team playing on a B2B here against a much younger and rested Kings team that does not have to travel far for this game. The Lakers have been playing well in these last 3 games but the streak ends here as a much better Kings team comes into town and beats them. The Kings will cover the spread here.
