"Sacramento" - "San Antonio". NBA match forecast
On December 2, Sacramento hosts San Antonio in a regular season NBA game. The Kings are looking to get back on track after a string of setbacks, while the Spurs want to strengthen their position. Will the hosts be able to prove themselves? - find out in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Sacramento Kings
USACurrent form
The Kings are going through tough times, as their recent games have not been very consistent. The recent away loss to Portland (106:115) showed problems in defense and a lack of communication between the players. Although Malik Monk was noticeable on the court, his efforts were not enough for the overall success.
Sacramento traditionally relies on offense, but the lack of teamwork on the court complicates the situation. The next game will be a great opportunity to rehabilitate themselves in front of home fans, especially considering that the team is playing on its home court. Head coach Mike Brown will probably make adjustments to the tactics to improve defense and give more freedom to the attacking players.
Disqualifications and injuries
Devin Carter, Kevin Huerter and Trey Lyles are out due to health issues.
Interesting facts for betting
The Kings have lost their last three home games.
Projected lineup: Murray - Crowder, Sabonis - Ellis, Fox.
San Antonio Spurs
USACurrent form
The Spurs continue to show progress. Despite the fact that the team is only in tenth place in the Western Conference, Gregg Popovich men are showing signs of confidence. The team had a good stretch of the season, as they achieved four victories in a row, but the latest defeat crossed everything out.
San Antonio suffered a 101-119 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, which slowed down the pace a bit. However, the Spurs still look competitive thanks to an improved offensive line and the consistent play of Chris Paul, who masterfully manages the team’s actions on the court. The head coach continues to look for the optimal balance between offense and defense to cope with strong opponents.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Jeremy Sohan is in the infirmary.
Interesting facts for betting
Spurs have only won two away games this season.
Probable lineup: Champagne - Barnes, Wembanyama - Castle, Paul.

1.77Tip and bets
Sacramento has trouble converting its attacks and clearly needs to improve its teamwork. The home arena may work to the hosts' advantage, but their instability remains a serious factor that many question.
San Antonio, on the other hand, looks more confident. Despite the recent loss, the team continues to improve, and Wembanyama play and Paul experience are serious arguments in their favor. The visitors have a good chance of success, especially if they can contain the Kings' attacking power.
Our prediction is a San Antonio victory with a handicap of (+5.5) points for 1.72
Bet on total
The match promises to be productive, as both teams prefer an attacking style of play. The Kings will try to take advantage of the home court factor, and the Spurs will try to actively play on counterattacks. We offer a bet on the total over, as both teams will be focused on the result.
Forecast - total over 223.5 points for 1.72
Bet on statistics
The Spurs have been showing a good level of attack, especially recently. Wembanyama and Paul are capable of organizing effective actions, and Sacramento defense is far from ideal. In our opinion, the visitors will be able to break their individual total.
Forecast - San Antonio individual total over 110.5 points for 1.80
