This game will be played at Footprint Center at 9:00 PM ET on Tuesday, February 14, 2023.
Why Bet the Kings:
✅ The Suns are going to be without Kevin Durant for this game, as he is still unavailable due to injury after being traded to Phoenix. Between that and the Suns trading several key pieces to get him, they are operating at a talent deficiency right now.
✅ The Kings have averaged 119.6 points per game on the season, ranking number one in the NBA in that department. Their firepower will be too much for the Suns to keep up with given their current roster situation.

Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings have been the biggest surprise in the NBA so far this season. They are still in third place in the Western Conference standings as the All-Star break approaches, with multiple players competing at an All-Star level this season. Here, the Kings will look to keep things rolling against a Phoenix Suns team whose roster is in transition after their trade deadline activity.
The key to this game for the Kings is going to be the center battle between Domantas Sabonis and Deandre Ayton. Sabonis has been a triple-double machine for the Kings, but he will need to use his quickness and creativity to win out over the physicality of Ayton.
Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns have gotten things back on track in the Western Conference, moving up to fourth place in the standings entering Tuesday night. The return of Devin Booker has been a big boost for them, as they look like a championship contender once again. But their roster will be a little shorthanded for this game, as Kevin Durant is unavailable due to injury.
When Durant gets on the floor, the current bench situation for the Suns will be less of a concern, with Cameron Payne and Landry Shamet also set to return later in the season. But the lack of those pieces now, combined with Durant’s injury, will make the immediate future a challenge.
