Earlier than every Kings of Sacramento recreation, I am looking for a stat that may dictate the result of the sport. Theoretically, if the Kings win the swing stat, they win the sport. In the event that they lose the stat, they lose the sport. Does that make sense? Let’s go.
The Kings journey to face the San Antonio Spurs Monday at 5:00 p.m. PT.
Kings vs Spurs Swing Stat: Turnaround Factors
Season averages
In contrast to most swing stats all through the season, tonight’s key stat is not essentially shut earlier than the sport. The Kings are high 4 in turnover factors whereas the Spurs are twentieth, however trying a bit nearer tells extra of the story.
Of their wins, the Spurs common 21 factors off turnovers. Losses which fall to 13.8. Early within the season, it is a nice indicator of San Antonio’s wins and losses.
The Spurs enter the sport with the Twenty sixth-ranked offense within the league and appear to have success once they get early, straightforward offense on quick break alternatives.
Sacramento offers up 18.6 factors on turnovers, the tenth most within the affiliation, however turns it over simply 22 occasions per recreation, the eighth fewest within the league for an odd mixture of statistics.
Time will inform if that is an unfortunate break up or a season-long pattern, however for Monday evening, it might point out the result of the sport.
