The Philadelphia 76ers are hoping to get their share back on their four-game road trip out West, but a Kins team is playing some good basketball. Our NBA picks for tonight’s contest think De’Aaron Fox will help the Kings stay hot.
The Sacramento Kings’ quest to climb above the Western Conference play-in line continues tonight as they host a Philadelphia 76ers team on the same mission in the East.
The Kings have won five of their last seven games and bounced back from a shock loss to the Washington Wizards last week with an impressive 109-107 win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday, as De’Aaron Fox scored 31 points.
That leaves the 76ers as big underdogs here in the final NBA Odds, despite a well-deserved victory against the Los Angeles Clippers yesterday. Philadelphia is in a three-way race for the No. 6 seed while struggling without Joel Embiid.

76ers vs. Kings Predictions
It’s about the last thing that Philadelphia 76ers might wish to see in the second match of a straight set is De’Aaron Fox cover the terrain from top to bottom. Unfortunately for Nick Nurse’s men, that’s exactly what awaits us here at Golden 1 Center.
Philadelphia dug deep at Los Angeles yesterday, but it’s fair to wonder how much is left in the tank for tonight. They should get Kyle Lowry And Nicolas Batum back after resting against the Clippers, but Tyrese Maxey logged 44 minutes yesterday and Kelly Oubre Jr. is a playing time decision.
This makes it a nightmare scenario for the visitors, with Fox picking up the pace and taking advantage of the running lanes. He overcame a tough night of 10-for-30 shooting against the Wizards with a more efficient outing to pace the game. Kings of Sacramento on the weekend, and I still like the Over on its points there.
He’s averaging 25.8 points per game this month, slightly below his overall season mark, but Sacramento needs his offense more than ever with Kevin Huerter and Trey Lyles both sidelined .
The Kings have scored 120 points or more in three of their last four home games, and the Fox-Domantas Sabonis duo should roll tonight with Philadelphia undermanned in the paint.
There was a big increase in Fox’s 3-point attempts last week — two straight games with double-digit shots from downtown — and it’s a trend that makes the Over even more enticing.
The Kings don’t have much room for error down the stretch, and I see the hosts looking to Fox for another big night.
My best bet: De’Aaron Fox Over 25.5 points (-111 FanDuel)
Parlay 76ers vs Kings in the same game
De’Aaron Fox Over 25.5 points
Domantas Sabonis Over 15.5 rebounds
76ers team total under 111.5 points
It’s been a roller coaster week for Sacramento, but Domantas SabonisRebounding has been a reliable constant. He’s had 14 or more rebounds in six straight games and is averaging 16.3 RPG this month.
I don’t see Batum, Mo Bamba and Paul Reed being able to keep Sabonis off the glass, and the Kings double-double machine is poised for another big stat line here. Even this high number is not enough to dissuade me from the Over.
I also take the Under on the Philadelphia Team Total. The visitors have hit this Under in 27 of their last 40 games, and yesterday’s faded 3-point shot appears to be an anomaly.
The 76ers have been held below 100 points five times in March and that’s a tough spot for them to be in after investing so much in yesterday’s win.

76ers vs Kings Spread and Over/Under Analysis
The Kings have been stumped lately. They beat the Magic, Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks this month, but lost to the Wizards and needed overtime to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies last week.
Still, an 8.5 point line speaks to Sacramento’s steady 20-13 home record and the potential fatigue factor for the visitors.
The 76ers scrap and claw without Embiid. They are 1-2 on this West Coast road trip, although the offense has been hit or miss beyond Maxey.
Philadelphia has dominated this matchup for the past five years, winning the last 10 meetings. I see this streak ending tonight, but I’m wary of scoring that many points with the erratic Kings.
The Under has been the trend for both of these teams. It’s 7-3 in Sacramento’s last 10 games and 7-2-1 for Philadelphia over the same span.
The 76ers’ 124-point outburst against the Clippers was a shock — it was the first time they had scored more than 109 points since March 3. Maxey, Tobias Harris and Cam Payne combined for 71 points yesterday as Philadelphia scored 18 of 18 points. their 37 3-pointers, and they’ll need balanced scoring again here to keep the score close.
