Matchup: Sacramento Kings vs. Miami Heat
The NBA season continues this Wednesday with a cross-conference matchup between the Sacramento Kings and the Miami Heat. The Kings are 5th in the West with a 27-18 record (win-rate: 60%), while the Heat are 7th in the East just above .500 at 24-23 (win-rate: 51.1%). Despite no major injuries, Miami is struggling to win games, posting a 3-7 record in their last 10, along with 7 consecutive losses, the longest current losing streak in the NBA. Sacramento went 6-4 in their last 10, winning 4-straight, and the Kings will look to hand Miami their 8th loss in-a-row. The Heat are desperate for a win, but they enter this contest as the underdogs, and as underdogs at home Miami has yet to win a game, while the Kings win 64.3% of their games as favorites on the road.
The Heat are clearly in a slump, but Caesars Sportsbook has given this matchup just a 1.0 points spread, which essentially means this could go either way. However, there’s a clear favorite in this one. Below you’ll find our Kings vs. Heat predictions, including: stats, scores, and betting advice.

Kings vs. Heat Game Predictions
Take the Sacramento Kings to beat the Heat on Wednesday in Miami. I like the Kings moneyline, as well as their chances against the spread. Sacramento covers 63.6% of their road games, while the Heat cover just 34.8% of their home games. Over their 7-game skid Miami’s offense has come crashing down, averaging an abysmal 101.7 points per game, and were held under 100-points 5 times in their last 10. Miami’s defense has suffered as well, allowing 128.7 opponent points per game over their last 3 matchups.
The Kings on the other hand are building momentum, averaging 119.8 points over their 4-game winning streak, and Sacramneto will easily outpace Miami in this one. De’Aaron Fox is leading the Kings with 27.5 points per game, the 8th-most in the NBA, while Domantas Sabonis is tied for the most double-doubles on the season. Miami was praised for their acumen when they traded for point guard Terry Rozier, but so far they have yet to win a game since the acquisition, and Rozier is averaging just 11.8 points per game with his new team. The Kings are decent on the road, winning 56.5% of their away games, while Miami is just 12-11 (win-rate: 52.2%) of their home games. Eventually the Heat will snap their losing streak, but it won’t be against the Kings on Wednesday.
Moneyline Pick: Sacramento Kings (-115)
