NBA Preseason/Wednesday's Picks
06 October 2021
The Sacramento Kings try to make it two straight in the preseason tonight as they head to LA to face the Clippers. Game time is 10:30 pm ET at Staples Center.
The Kings opened up the preseason on Monday with a 117-106 win over the defending Western Conference champion Phoenix Suns. Harrison Barnes led the way with 18 points and helped overcome an off-night from team leader De’Aaron Fox, who had just 6 points on 3-of-12 shooting.
The Clippers also came back to win their preseason opener, 103-102, over Denver as they outscored the Nuggets 31-22 in the fourth quarter. Terrence Mann had a team-high 14 points for the Clips, who were playing without Kawhi Leonard (ACL injury) and Paul George (rest).
Dunkel has the Kings making it two in a row tonight with the final score going over the Vegas total of 220 ½.
