The Indiana Pacers (24-29) welcome an old friend in Domantas Sabonis to the Fieldhouse on Friday when they play the Sacramento Kings (29-21).

After dumping the game to the Lakers, they are now 1-11 in their last 12 games. However, all eyes will be on the ‘Turbonis’ matchup in the middle which should be plenty entertaining. Myles Turner anchors the Pacers defense and has had is best offensive year ever while playing without Sabonis. Sabonis and the Kings have been solid all season and currently sit in third place in the Western Conference. There should be nothing but positive vibes for Sabonis in his return to Indy which we assume will include a tribute video for the former Pacers two-time All-Star. Rookie Bennedict Mathurin should be ready to go after only playing 20 minutes on Thursday.

We go over some of the best betting options for Friday's matchup between the Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers.

On top of that, the Kings have shot 50% from the field over the last five games and are facing a Pacers team that has allowed opponents to shoot 50.3% from the field in that same span. Both teams have averaged around 115 points per game in their last five outings and have been under-friendly squads throughout the season. Sacramento has been the second-best team against the spread this season, posting a 28-21-1 overall record ATS and a 15-8 record on the road. Both teams shot over 53% from the field in this contest but the Kings were able to establish a lead in the second quarter and maintain it for the rest of the game. Newly christened All-Star Tyrese Haliburton returned from a 10-game injury absence and delivered 26 points and 12 assists in the loss. Sacramento (29-21) has won two straight to maintain its third-place spot in the Western Conference standings and last took down San Antonio in a 119-109 victory Wednesday.

[Domantas Sabonis](https://www.lineups.com/nba/player-stats/domantas-sabonis) [Keegan Murray](https://www.lineups.com/nba/player-stats/keegan-murray) [Harrison Barnes](https://www.lineups.com/nba/player-stats/harrison-barnes) [Kevin Huerter](https://www.lineups.com/nba/player-stats/kevin-huerter) [Davion Mitchell](https://www.lineups.com/nba/player-stats/davion-mitchell) Both Haliburton and Sabonis are going to have their hands full, but Sabonis probably has the advantage. Meanwhile, Sabonis will be going up against his previous frontcourt partner, Myles Turner, a shot-blocking big who has the size to body up Domantas. While these two players obviously won’t be defending one another, they will each have an element of pride involved in this game. It should not be too difficult to guess what our key matchup will be, despite the fact that these two players won’t be defending each other: Tyrese Haliburton versus Domantas Sabonis. Fox’s absence will hurt, but I like the Kings to grind out a narrow victory here. The Pacers have a net rating of -9.0 during this avalanche, and even though Tyrese Haliburton is back, they might not return to form any time soon. Both of these teams have a fairly clean injury report, but Sacramento will miss De’Aaron Fox due to personal reasons.

Therefore, expect the Kings to capitalize on a cold and tired Indiana team and generate some buckets on their way to victory. Moreover, they must stop Fox and Sabonis while forcing others to shoot the basketball. But the Pacers remain solid at the charity stripe, ranking sixth in free-throw shooting percentage. Sadly, they have won just one game over the last 10 and are struggling to finish. The Pacers are cratering down to Earth and something must change to stop this downfall. The Kings could cover the spread if Fox and Sabonis can put up buckets early. The Kings are also 10th from the charity stripe. The Kings won a nail-biter last season in Indiana. But the Kings need Sabonis to keep productng because the rest of the team struggles on the boards. The Pacers are coming off a 112-111 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. The Kings enter this contest with a record of 29-21. Meanwhile, the Pacers enter this contest with a record of 24-29.
