Kings vs Trail Blazers: Starting Lineups and Probable Starting Lineups
The Sacramento Kings have been without Malik Monk due to an ankle injury. As a result of Monk’s absence, the Kings’ starting backcourt has been split up. De’Aron Fox has been filling in for Monk, while Kevin Hart has been in for the injured guard. The Kings’ starting five is made up of Huerter (starting for Monk), Sabonis (starting for Hart), Keegan Murray (starting for Hart) and Harrison Barnes (starting for Barnes).
For the Portland Trail Blazers, if De’Ayton is ruled out for the remainder of the game, it will likely mean the starting lineup will stay the same as it has been for the first three games of the season. Assuming Ayton is out for the rest of the season, the probable starting lineup will be:
Duop Reath (starting for Ayton)
Jerami Grant (starting for Grant)
Toumani CAMARA (starting for Camara)
Andreyrnee SIMON (starting for Simons)
Shaedon SHEP (starting for Sharpe
Sacramento Kings at Portland Trail Blazers: Odds & Betting
Prediction: Portland Trail Blazers vs. Sacramento Kings
Prediction: Domantas Sabonis (-21.5) vs. Portland Trail Blazers (-20.5)
Prediction: Sabonis dominates the center position and goes over/under in this game. Sabonis has gone over/under only twice in his last five games.
Betting on the Trail Blazers?
Jerami Grant (+20.5) has been one of the Trail Blazers’ best scorers this season, but he has missed the mark in his last two games. He should break out of his slump in this game.
The total has gone over in three of the past four games between the Kings and the Trail Blazers, and it is expected to do so again this time around. The 7.5-point spread is likely to be covered, and the Kings are favored to win over the Trail Blazers.
