Will Kings be able to record a home victory on January 3? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Sacramento Kings
USAKey players of Sacramento have returned to action, but so far they didn't bring any impact for the Kings. Alvin Gentry lost the most recent match to weakened Dallas (96:112). But before that Kings managed to beat the Mavericks. They won the first match by a 95:94 score.
Sacramento is currently at the 10th spot in the standings of the Western Conference. This position will let them to advance into the play-in. But they need to retain that spot. That's why they need to record more victories.
Miami Heat
USAMiami won the most recent match. This time Heat recorded an away victory over Houston (120:110). Jimmy Butler returned to the line-up and helped Eric Spoelstra's team. Jimmy became the best player of the team, scoring 37 points in just 35 minutes. Tyler Herro also put up a great performance.
Heat are still playing without a number of players. They are going to California with a weakened squad. Team will rely on Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler at Golden 1 Center. But it is uncertain, whether their performance will be enough for a victory.

Tip and bets
Most of recent away matches of Miami were not so high-scoring. In 4 out of 6 most recent away matches Heat failed to score more than 102 points. Spoelstra's men will probably play defensively once again.
Our prediction - Miami: total under 113,5 points
Sometimes Miami is not playing well. For example, Spoelstra's men recently suffered an away defeat to Detroit. We are not expecting a better performance from the Heat. They will play without a number of players, so Kings should be able to get advantage of that.
