Sacramento plays Phoenix on 5-game road slide

The Kings aim to break a five-game road losing streak at the Suns, who hold a 19-14 record and are favored by 12 points, according to BETMGM sportsbook.

  • On Friday, the Sacramento Kings visit Phoenix in Phoenix at 95, seeking to end a five-game road skid, their third meeting this season.
  • Missing key players, the Sacramento Kings have been short-handed all season, losing 13 of 16 games with Zach LaVine out and Domantas Sabonis out , while the Phoenix Suns have Grayson Allen day-to-day and Jalen Green out.
  • BetMGM's line highlights the gap between these teams as the Suns are 12-point favorites with a 228.5 over/under; Phoenix averages 115.1 points while Kings concede 122.3, and the Kings make 10.7 threes versus Suns allowing 12.5.
  • A Suns win would clinch the season series for Phoenix, which has won five of seven, while Sacramento, 18-10 since a 1-4 start, faces a crucial game for standings.
  • Phoenix's depth and comeback pedigree shape expectations beyond this game, as Jordan Ott's teams frequently rally and Collin Gillespie has started 14 of the past 15 games.
