Sacramento vs Houston Prediction: We Disagree With the Bookies

Prediction for the NBA match between Sacramento vs Houston, which will take place on December 4th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Kings are a far cry from the team that made the playoffs two seasons ago. In fact, the play-in round was an insurmountable obstacle for Sacramento last season, and now the Californians sit outside the top 10 in the Western Conference - in 12th place with a 9-12 record. Under Mike Brown, the Kings seem to be regressing year by year.

In their last game against San Antonio, Sacramento played well on the offensive end but failed on the defensive one - 125-127. It was the Kings' sixth loss in their last seven games.

The Kings have been disappointing in the current campaign, while the Rockets have been surprising their fans. Ime Udoka's side enters the game in second place in the Western Conference. Houston has won 16 of 21 games. Only Oklahoma has a better record in the West.

Houston also routed the Thunder in their last meeting. The Rockets won 119-116 at home, with Fred Vanvleet leading the way with 38 points. Alperen Sengun finished the game with a double-double - 20 points, 14 rebounds, and nine assists.

Houston and Sacramento are on different levels at the moment. The Rockets are among the leaders in the Western Conference, while the Kings are still struggling to find their stride and are currently outside the play-in zone. We think the bookmakers are wrong with the favorites here. We like Houston and the total under—the Rockets are currently third in the NBA in defensive rankings. On the statistical side, we take Houston to win in three-pointers.
