NBA Premium Play 12/17: Sacramento Kings @ Phoenix Suns


NBA - 711 Sacramento Kings @ 712 Phoenix Suns

Projected Line: Phoenix by 10 points

Sacramento will play their third game in four nights, with this game being also played on a back to back spot for them. Both Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thornton are doubtful for tonight and they have been missed, as the Kings aren't being able to share the ball at all on offense. The proof of that was that they dished just 13 assists yesterday against the Nuggets. Sacramento's offensive problems continue to appear and their dynamic on offense is now completely gone with just 14, 18 and 13 assists on their last three games!

On the other hand, Phoenix has really impressed on their last two games. They were able to be physical, something that they haven't been for a while. T.J. Tucker, Jermaine O'Neal and Shannon Brown are playing hard and the Suns really look like an improved team right now. Phoenix is also defending pick and rolls and transitions better and their only defensive problem has been on the spot up plays, however Sacramento without any kind of ball movement can't find good looks on the perimeter.

Sacramento's defense is terrible on pick and rolls and so, Phoenix's offense won't have problems in having a good offensive game tonight. With the Kings struggling in having any kind of offensive dynamic going on right now, I expect Phoenix to have an easy win tonight. Therefore, I'll be taking the Suns in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 712 Phoenix Suns (-6,5) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
