On Monday Night, the Philadelphia 76ers are set to take on the Sacramento Kings in the National Basketball Association. The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off an impressive win on the road at the Clippers on Sunday. The win for the 76ers pushed them to 39-32 on the season. Philadelphia is in quite the battle with Miami and Indiana for the 6th seed in the East.
The Sacramento Kings are coming into the game fresh off a win on the road at the Orlando Magic. The win pushed them to 41-29 on the season. The Kings are battling with Dallas and Phoenix for 6th – 8th in the West. The Kings are 3 games ahead of the Lakers.
The Sacramento Kings are -8.5 over Philadelphia here. The total is listed at 220.5.
Philadelphia 76ers
In the win over Philadelphia, Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey both scored 24 points. Maxey played 44 minutes in the game. Cam Payne was great off the bench and scored 23 points. On the season, the 76ers are getting 25.8 per game from Maxey, and 17.1 from Harris.
Philadelphia is obviously a different team without their best player Joel Embiid. The team hopes they see the big man return in April. Before he went out, he was scoring more than 35 points per game, and adding more than 11 rebounds per game.
The Philadelphia 76ers are finishing up their road tip. The 76ers are at home on Wednesday against the Clippers, but then they are back on the road for back to back games. They will visit Cleveland and Toronto to wrap up March. The first game in April is at home against the Thunder.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings used 31 points from their point guard De’Aaron Fox in the game. Fox also recorded 8 rebounds in the game. Keegan Murray was solid in the game as well, as he scored 22 points and ripped down 7 rebounds. Domantas Sabonis scored 21 points, and ripped down 14 rebounds in the game.
The Kings are scoring just shy of 118 points per game. The Kings are making over 14 three point shots per game. They have struggled at the free throw line, 30th in all of the league. Fox and Sabonis are the top scorers for the Kings, with 26.6 points and 20.0 points per game respectively.
The Kings are starting a five game home stand. The 76ers after this game will host Dallas in back to back games. After that, they host the Utah Jazz, and then the Los Angeles Clippers. The next road game for the Kings will come on April 4th at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks.
Kings Smoke 76ers
It is hard to know what you are doing to get from the Sacramento Kings. But, when this team plays well, they are very talented and can win games. The Kings are going to shoot the basketball well in this game, and the absence of Embiid will rear its ugly head again here.
It was great for the 76ers to win on Sunday, but back to back seems rough. The Sacramento Kings will beat the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Our final bet for this game is the Sacramento Kings -8.5 over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Enjoy the game and best of luck with all your NBA betting!
