The atmosphere around Phoenix is not the healthiest these days, primarily due to the news about club owner Robert Sarver. They simply blew their last meeting on the road against Portland (105-134). We’ll see if the last year’s playoff finalists can pull it together in the upcoming game against Sacramento Kings, which begins at 03:00 UK time.
Possible line-ups for the match:
Phoenix Suns:
G – Chris Paul; G – Devin Booker; F – Mikal Bridges; F – Jae Crowder; C – Deandre Ayton.
Sacramento Kings:
G – De’Aaron Fox; G – Tyrese Haliburton; F – Terence Davis; F – Harrison Barnes; C – Richaun Holmes.
Phoenix Suns:
Last year’s finalist hasn’t had the best start this season. Monty Williams’ team lost 2 of 3 games, losing to Denver (98-110) and Portland (105-134). Phoenix earned their only win against the Lakers (115-105).

So far, the Suns’ latest defeat has been alarming. Last season, the Suns won thanks to solid defensive play. Now Chris Paul and company look unconvincing under the basket. Perhaps it’s all because of Deandre Ayton’s lack of confidence.
Sacramento Kings:
Sacramento Kings won against Portland (124-121) in the first game of the regular season. But then things got bad. First, Luke Walton’s team couldn’t handle Utah’s organized defense (101-110). After that, the Kings failed to beat Golden State (107-119).

In the offseason, the Kings should have changed their head coach. In two seasons at the helm of the Kings, Walton has still not taught his team how to play organized defense. That’s exactly why Sacramento is losing. They have a good offensive game, though.
Phoenix Suns vs Sacramento Kings statistics:

Phoenix Suns vs Sacramento Kings Tips:
The Sacramento Kings have been losing regularly in Phoenix. In the last four games in Arizona, for example, the Kings have three defeats. Two of them were by wide margins.
It’s unlikely to change much now. The Suns will be able to win this time too. We think the Kings’ offense will not surprise at the Footprint Centre.
Our first prediction and bet is the Suns’ win with the odds of 1.29.
At home, the Phoenix Suns are very successful against Sacramento. As a rule, the Suns do not let the Kings get away with it on their home court. For example, in 4 of the last 5 meetings between the teams total points were under 232. That’s unlikely to change now.
Our second prediction is total match points under 227.5 with the odds of 1.70 with the VBet bookmaker.
