The Kings lost in a difficult series to rival Golden State in the first round of the playoffs last season but have hope for what they can do moving forward. Anyone looking to make Kings vs Lakers picks & parlays will see Los Angeles also has large ambition.

Kings vs. Lakers Betting Analysis
All of the Sacramento Kings players are available. Who the Kings decide to use will remain at the discretion of coach Mike Brown. During their first preseason game, a 112-99 loss to Toronto, Sacramento played most of their starters for at least a quarter.
Veteran Harrison Barnes scored 11 points in 14 minutes. The Kings were happy to see a performance from one of their international signees.
Sasha Vezenkov, a three-time Greek League MVP, signed a contract this past July with Sacramento. NBA stats show Vezenkov impressed during his preseason debut, scoring a team-high 12 points.
When making your Kings vs Lakers picks & parlays, keep in mind that Brown said Vezenkov is still learning to adjust to the NBA and may not start the season in Sacramento’s rotation.
The Kings will be desperate to shoot better from the field. NBA betting trends show that Sacramento’s 22.2 percent (10-of-45) shooting from the 3-point line won’t be good enough to win many games.
King James takes a seat
The Los Angeles Lakers schedule has already seen them play two preseason games. Unlike the Kings, the Lakers have several players on the NBA injury report. LeBron James will be unavailable. Jarred Vanderbilt and Cam Reddish will be out with heel soreness and an ankle sprain.
Los Angeles got plenty of solid performances during the Lakers’ last preseason game. Austin Reaves led Los Angeles by scoring 18 points in 20 minutes. Reaves is coming off a summer that saw him participate in the FIBA World Cup with Team USA. Anthony Davis was also able to showcase how healthy he is. Davis finished with 13 points and seven rebounds in 14 minutes of play.
Anyone making NBA picks will see Los Angeles play at a breakneck pace in its last game against the Nets. The Lakers attempted 98 field goals and 55 3-pointers. Anyone making Kings vs Lakers picks & parlay needs to keep an eye out on the injury report to make sure nothing changes closer to game time.
Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Lakers Betting Picks
Anyone looking at Kings vs Lakers picks & parlays will see this is a game the Kings should be able to win on the road. Los Angeles may be willing to rest Davis alongside James to ensure their two veteran superstars stay healthy. The Lakers don’t want to ruin their preseason chances in a preseason game.
If the Lakers continue to push a pace like they did in their last preseason game, Los Angeles should be able to make sure this game gets over the total.
