Sacramento vs. Lakers: prediction for the NBA match
At the beginning of October, Sacramento secured an away victory over the Lakers. Who will win this time? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Sacramento Kings

In the current season the Kings have a chance to finally get a play-off spot. They are currently 6th in the Western conference standings. Mike Brown's men have won 16 of 29 matches.
Some of Sacramento's defeats are simply unacceptable. For example, in the most recent match the Kings suffered a defeat to the 14th placed Charlotte. Despite a strong offensive effort of De'Aaron Fox, Sacramento suffered a 119:125 defeat.

LA Lakers

Lakers failed to put up a fight in an away match against Phoenix. Darwin Ham's men played that match without Anthony Davis, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook. Absence of key players surely affected team's performance. As a result, the Lakers suffered a 104:130 defeat.
LeBron James might recover in time for the match against Sacramento. It is unknown, whether Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis will play or not.
