Sacramento Kings vs Philadelphia 76ers Basketball Preview - 01-01-2025
The Sacramento Kings have won six of their last nine games, but they face a formidable test from Philadelphia's 76ers on Wednesday at Golden 1 Center. While both teams have struggled this season, Philadelphia appears to have found its rhythm lately and neither team is yet sure they have found a winning formula; both remain hopeful of making the playoffs this year.
This game will likely be high-scoring as both teams rank among the league leaders for points per game. The Kings boast superior shooting while the 76ers excel at scoring from 3-point range and free throw percentage. Furthermore, Philadelphia has recently shown improvement defensively as they rank as one of the league's top ten teams in that regard.
The Philadelphia 76ers have won four of their last five games and should enter this matchup with confidence. Furthermore, one of their key strengths lies in being one of the top teams in terms of turnover percentage - making them an intimidating opponent against a Kings team that struggles to manage its possession of the ball.
De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis will be key for the Kings as they try to limit Joel Embiid's impact in this contest, while Tyrese Maxey should play an instrumental role for the 76ers offense. Stats Insider predicts a 114-108 win by Sacramento at Golden 1 Center.
