Kings vs Trail Blazers

The Sacramento Kings debuted their 2022-23 NBA regular season at home against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night with a tough loss due to the ...

The rebounding issue was team-wide but it's shocking to see that lack of production from Sabonis and I fully expect that to be an outlier. It's tough for a big to secure defensive rebounds when the opposing team is penetrating the paint at will and they're responsible for protecting the rim. One of Mike Brown's five staples on the offensive end is playing in the "point five". "I don't think we were very good offensively today, and I think we got staggered a lot and things like that. They want their players making a decision and acting on it within point five seconds of catching the ball. Fox had himself a night with a final tally of 33 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds on 12/21 from the field but most importantly 5/9 from beyond the arc. "Those are the guys that you try to take out the game, but Jerami Grant and Josh Hart had great games. And when we’re playing those guys you know that Dame or Anfernee are going to be on the court at all times. After having a somewhat limited role in a Trae Young dominated offense in Atlanta, it'll be interesting to see if that sort of point total will become the new normal for Red Velvet. The Trail Blazers had 11 offensive rebounds by the final whistle and far too many of those were due to an inexcusable lack of box-outs.

If you want to trust your money on either the Blazers or the Kings, especially in a season opener, you should reconsider. The Kings have every reason to think they can beat Portland again. The Kings beat the Blazers in last year’s NBA season opener, and they did so in Portland. One could also simply say that trusting the Sacramento Kings with a betting pick is rarely something a bettor should seek to do. Having a healthy Jusuf Nurkic is another reason to believe that Portland can win; the Blazers’ frontcourt can certainly compete with the Kings’ bigs and at least fight to a draw, enabling Dame to be the difference for the Blazers. Richaun Holmes as a bench big man and Malik Monk as a backup to Kevin Huerter at shooting guard give the Kings more pieces to work with compared to past years.

The slate for tonight features 12 games, including the Sacramento Kings home opener at 9 PM ET. The Kings are hosting the revamped Portland Trail Blazers.

For what it’s worth, the Kings looked to be firing on all cylinders as a unit throughout the preseason. He is going to be starting in the backcourt next to The Kings are very limited in terms of rebounders. Early season ups and downs are very possible, although the same could happen in Portland. As of time of publication, the Kings are -2.5 (-112) and the total is set at 228.5. The Kings effort to bolster their roster focused on adding shooting.
