Kings vs Suns NBA betting preview (February 14th, 2023). The Sacramento Kings are -2.5 (Unibet) on Tuesday as they travel to Phoenix.
The Sacramento Kings look like they are in a tough spot on Tuesday night. They will be looking for a win on the road when they face the Phoenix Suns in a late game that will start at 9:00 PM ET.
The Kings are heading into the game as small underdogs, with the spread set at +2.5 (Unibet). However, Sacramento looks like they should be about +6.5 in this game. Accordingly, Phoenix should be taken to win or to cover -2.5.
The Sacramento Kings will enter the game with an overall record of 32-24 on the season. They have a pretty clean injury report, except that Malik Monk is out. Frankie Cartoscelli reported that Monk will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break. That leaves Sacramento a little short on quality guards and Davion Mitchell should see an uptick in minutes.
When Mitchell replaced De’Aaron Fox for a couple of games a couple of weeks ago, it wasn’t really a story of success. The Kings lost both games and Mitchell, who is just 6’0″, didn’t play well in them. Furthermore, Sacramento, as a team, hasn’t been all good news lately. They are just 6-6 in their last twelve and the Kings are up against a hot Phoenix team.
The Phoenix Suns are 31-27 on the season. They have played some of their best basketball lately. The Suns have gone 10-3 in their last 13 games. Kevin Durant remains out for this team but there is nothing unusual about that. The Suns are a really safe moneyline bet in this game at -139 with Unibet (5/7) and that’s what bettors should be going with.
