Smart Game Analysis
Cleveland Cavaliers has a 82% chance of winning the game
The Cavaliers are poised to dominate a struggling Kings team that holds a dismal 3-17 road record, despite the absence of point guard Darius Garland.
Key Analysis
- • Cleveland is missing primary playmaker Darius Garland due to a toe sprain, while Sacramento is without starting forward Keegan Murray due to an ankle injury.
- • Donovan Mitchell will carry the offensive load against a Kings backcourt featuring Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan that struggles to contain perimeter scorers.
- • Sacramento's defense is allowing a porous 120.7 points per game, which ranks among the worst in the league and favors Cleveland's efficient frontcourt.
- • The Kings have lost three straight games and hold a terrible 3-17 record on the road this season.
- • Cleveland has a significant advantage in the paint with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen facing a Kings team that allows 49.2% shooting from the field.
- • Sacramento must rely on high-volume three-point shooting from LaVine and DeRozan to overcome their defensive inability to stop the Cavaliers.
