Players to watch<\/h2>\n

Luka Doncic, Lakers.<\/strong> Thirty-seven or more in five of his seven games. Sacramento has allowed 121 or more in six.<\/p>\n

Darius Acuff Jr., Sacramento.<\/strong> Thirty-three or more three times, and six or more assists in three games.<\/p>\n\n\n

Score prediction<\/h2>\n

Kings 125-114 Lakers.<\/strong> Last season’s ratings make the Lakers about 10 points better on a neutral floor. Sacramento’s home court and Monday’s win trim that a little.<\/p>\n

Lakers vs Kings prediction<\/h2>\n

The Lakers are 2-1 on the road. The Kings have given up 124.3 a game, and nobody has found an answer to Doncic yet.<\/p>\n

Our pick: the Lakers to win, at -6.5 or shorter.<\/strong> No total.<\/p>\n
