Sacramento Kings (4-6) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (2-9)
The 2022-23 NBA betting action continues Friday in the Western Conference when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Sacramento Kings at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
This is the last road contest before Sacramento returns for a four-game homestand. The Lakers have lost four straight games after falling to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. This is the first meeting between the clubs this season. Sacramento and Los Angeles split the four meetings last year, including splitting the two meetings in L.A.
The Sacramento Kings (4-6) enter this contest performing well against the spread this season (7-3-0), but the team has not played well at home, going 2-3 through their first five home contests. They are also 2-3 on the road and would love to even that mark heading back to Sacramento for Sunday’s contest against Golden State.
The Kings are coming off a decisive 127-120 victory over Cleveland on Wednesday. Harrison Barnes scored a season-high 20 points, a nice rebounding contest after producing zero against Golden State on Monday. “I have confidence in myself,” Barnes explained after the victory. “I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs…although some nights are good, some nights are not. I don’t think it’s changed how my spirit is.”

All five starters scored in double digits in the victory, led by Domantas Sabonis who chipped in 21 to go along with five rebounds and six assists. Sabonis is averaging 16.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game this year. Six different players averaging in double digits has the Kings 10th overall in points per game (115.9), but they have struggled defensively, allowing 117.1 points per contest.
