Sacramento Kings vs Philadelphia 76ers: Current situation
The Sacramento Kings have come under a lot of criticism after the firing of head coach Mike Brown. After just 2 and a half seasons it was time for the Kings to move on, despite Brown winning the Coach of the Year award with the team. Until a permanent solution is found, the team will be coached by former King player Doug Christie. With him in charge the team is expected to change their style of play, returning back to their roots of scoring a lot of points and not caring too much about defense.
With 11 wins in 13 games the Philadelphia 76ers are back in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference. Right now they are 11th in the standings, but tied with the Detroit Pistons for that 10th seed and final play-in tournament spot. In the weaker Eastern Conference the 5th seeded Hawks are just 3.5 games ahead in the standings, so even making the playoffs directly isn’t off the table if the 76ers can keep winning at this pace. It’ll all come down to injuries and availability of their franchise player Joel Embiid though.
Sacramento Kings Stats & Form
Doug Christie is off the mark as a Kings coach, getting his first win on Monday in a 110-100 triumph over the shorthanded Dallas Mavericks. De’Aaron Fox responded to all kinds of trade rumors on social media with a 33 point and 6 assist performance. His running mate Domantas Sabonis added 17 points and 16 rebounds, proving that the Kings will only go as far as their dynamic duo takes them.
Philadelphia 76ers Stats & Form
The 76ers are also coming off a win, following an impressive 125-103 triumph at Portland. Joel Embiid messed around and finished with 37 points and 9 rebounds, while Tyrese Maxey added 23 on really solid efficiency. Head coach Nick Nurse should also be encouraged by the efficiency of his team, as a unit the 76ers shot over 57% from the field and forced 24 turnovers by the Blazers.
Sacramento Kings vs Philadelphia 76ers: Head-to-Head
This match-up has been dominated by Philadelphia for a long time. Prior to the two teams splitting the regular season series last year, Philly had won 4 in a row. We have to go back all the way to the 2017-18 season to find a year where the Kings won the regular season series. In the all-time regular season win total, the 76ers hold a massive lead with 173 wins to 129 by the Kings.

The point total has been set at 226.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Sacramento Kings vs Philadelphia 76ers (01.01.2025)
There are a very few teams hotter than the Philadelphia 76ers are right now, which seems an odd statement to make considering in what type of shape this team was just a month ago. The Sixers have turned things around, with some impressive wins along the way. Joel Embiid appears to have finally turned the corner and is playing more consistently, while also producing big time numbers. He just had 37 points and 9 rebounds in the latest win at Portland, Sacramento will have a hard time dealing with him down low as they simply don’t have anyone that can handle his combination of strength and agility. Sacramento’s only hope is to increase the tempo here and play a run and gun style, which could wear out the Philly big man as he has shown struggles playing a faster pace before. With new interim head coach Doug Christie on board, the Kings just recorded their first win over Dallas. In that game they attempted 100 shots from the field, which could be a sign of how Christie wants this team to play. If that is the case then we would recommend backing the over here. Philadelphia has scored 110+ points in 4 straight, the Kings will have enough to respond. Back the points.
