Sacramento Form & Recent Results
Sacramento heads into this matchup feeling pretty good after putting together a two-game winning streak, even though their overall form has been a little up and down lately, with three losses in their last five games. Their most recent game was an entertaining 117–113 win at home over New Orleans on Friday, where Maxime Raynaud led the way with 28 points and also pulled down 9 rebounds. Nique Clifford helped keep the offense organized as well, finishing with 6 assists. As a team, the Kings shot efficiently, hitting 51% of their field goals, and they did a solid job on the glass with 46 total rebounds. They weren’t in control for most of the night, though, leading for only about 7% of the game, which shows how tight the contest was right up until the end.
Throughout the season, Sacramento has been powered by Zach LaVine, who leads the team in scoring at 19.2 points per game, with DeMar DeRozan close behind at 18.6 points a night as the second option. On the boards, Domantas Sabonis has been their most reliable rebounder, averaging 11.4 rebounds per game, while Russell Westbrook has been the main playmaker, leading the Kings with 6.7 assists per game. Even with those contributors, defense has been an issue recently. Over their last five games, Sacramento has given up 117.6 points per game on average. Now they’ll try to keep the momentum going by winning a third straight game and leveling the season series against the Clippers on Sunday.
LA Form & Recent Results
LA heads into this game having dropped two in a row, although their overall form hasn’t been all bad, as they’ve still managed to win three of their last five. Their most recent result was a tough 118–99 home loss to San Antonio on Thursday, where they never really got into a comfortable rhythm. Kawhi Leonard did what he could offensively, finishing with 24 points and five assists, while Bennedict Mathurin helped out on the glass with seven rebounds. One thing that hurt LA in that matchup was carelessness with the ball, as they finished with 10 turnovers and struggled to generate enough clean looks to keep pace.

Leonard also tops the team in rebounding, averaging 6.3 boards, while Garland has taken on the role of main playmaker, leading the Clippers with 8.1 assists per game. Over their last five games, LA is putting up 112.6 points per game on average, and as they travel to face the Kings, they’ll be aiming to stop the slide and get back to winning basketball.
