The Los Angeles Lakers have made it to their final preseason game of the year. On Thursday night, the Lakers will have one last chance to grab a win against the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center. Los Angeles has lost all four of its exhibition games while Sacramento sits at 3-0, last beating the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday, 107-93.
It doesn’t really matter if the Lakers win tonight or not, but it would be nice to avoid going winless during the preseason. The regular season is days away, so that’s where the majority of the focus is at right now. However, tonight will be another chance to get a look at the Big Three and increase rookie Austin Reaves’ reps.
Let’s celebrate the last meaningless game by acknowledging those who are betting on the Los Angeles-Sacramento game tonight. We’re here to assist you if you do decide to bet on tonight’s game in California’s capital.
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Kings odds, spread, over/under and prediction:
According to WynnBET, the Los Angeles Lakers are the three-point underdogs against the Kings. Los Angeles enters tonight’s matchup as the +130 moneyline dogs while Sacramento is the -150 moneyline favorites. The over/under for the game is set at 164 points.
The odds aren’t in the Lakers favor which is completely understandable considering that they’re going up against another undefeated preseason team. Los Angeles has been hit with a few tough injuries and with it being the final week before the regular season, the lineup has been a bit shaky.
If I were going to bet on the game, I’d say that the Lakers are going to complete their preseason quintet with another loss. It’s the last chance for Los Angeles to work on getting some last-minute things right. The Kings have been successful and with it being a home game, the likelihood of them winning their fourth-straight game is high.
I’m taking Sacramento -3 and over 164 points with a final score prediction of Kings 103, Lakers 95.
