Game Preview

The 76ers have six wins in the last seven events, and four in a row. The previous three were all away from the City of Brotherly Love, which makes this stretch even more valuable. They now have all the players in rotation, including Paul George and the former NBA MVP, Joel Embiid.

The latter was dominant in the most recent game, against the Portland Trail Blazers in Oregon, scoring 37 points. The 76ers won that encounter 125-103.

The Kings had six straight defeats, and on top of that, their head coach, Mike Brown, who created this team in a certain way, was fired. We still don’t know about the locker room’s reaction to that, but the important thing is that the Kings defeated the injured Mavs, 110-100 to stop the cold streak.

Sacramento had 58 boards, compared to Dallas’ 36 and this is the main reason why they managed to win in the first place.

76ers vs. Kings Prediction

Philly looks good and we don’t believe the Kings have the power to win this one. Sacramento doesn’t have good chemistry, and its morale is shaky, unlike the Sixers, who look way better than one month ago.
