Sacramento Kings vs Chicago Bulls: Current situation
The only reason why the Sacramento Kings are still hanging on to the 9th seed in the Western Conference is because the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns are the two teams chasing them. Losing Domantas Sabonis has been a big blow for this team, they just ended a 4-game losing streak with a big time win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
With 4 wins in 5 games and a 6-4 SU run over their last 10 games, the Bulls have actually done the unthinkable and have leaped over the Miami Heat to take over the 9th seed in the Western Conference. The Bulls have been stuck in play-in tournaments for the past several seasons, a match-up against the Heat is looking very likely with the two teams currently being tied at 29-39.
Sacramento Kings Stats & Form
A total team effort of 5 players scoring in double-figures and 3 of them getting 20+ points was enough to overcome Desmond Bane’s 44 point night on Tuesday. The Kings got a much needed win, improving to 17-15 SU in home games this season. It’ll be up to DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine to carry this team in the final 3 weeks of the regular season, as Sabonis will miss the remainder of the month of March due to injury.
Chicago Bulls Stats & Form
Coby White continued his strong play with another 26 point performance in Chicago’s 111-97 win at Utah on Tuesday. The win sent the Jazz to their 10th straight loss, but more importantly it gave the Bulls their 16th road win of the season. This team has waken up at just the right time, if it wasn’t for a 3-point road loss to Houston they would be on a 5-game win streak right now.
Sacramento Kings vs Chicago Bulls: Head-to-Head
Sacramento won the first meeting of the season 124-119 thanks to 21 points from former Bull DeMar DeRozan. Zach LaVine led Chicago with 36 points in that win, he is now a member of the Kings and will play his former team for the first time since the trade went down. He’ll be hoping to lead Sacramento to their 8th win in 11 meetings here.

Betting tip and prediction: Sacramento Kings vs Chicago Bulls (20.03.2025)
There will be no shortage of points scored in Thursday’s game as the Bulls, who have the 3rd fastest offense in the NBA over the past 15 games, face a Kings team that’s allowing the 10th highest number of points per 100 possessions during this stretch. Sacramento’s last 4 opponents have put up 122, 122, 130 and 133 points, it’s quite evident that this team is just not the same without the interior presence of Domantas Sabonis. When these two teams met back in January we saw a total of 243 points scored, it was the 2nd time in 3 meetings that the over had cashed. Chicago’s calling card in this game will be to exploit the Kings’ weaknesses around the perimeter. Sacramento has been plagued with issues trying to contain opposing offenses in this area – they rank dead last in the NBA in opponent three-point percentage. Teams are scoring on 38.3% attempts against them for the season, over their last 3 games that number is up to a whopping 52.7%. That is good news for the likes of Coby White and co., he has averaged almost 27 points per game over his last 10 outings. There is also the Zach LaVine revenge game aspect that we need to take into account. Former players are often motivated to give extra effort in games against the team that traded them away, there is no doubt in our minds this will be the case with LaVine on Thursday. Despite Chicago’s solid run lately, we are backing the Kings to cover the spread here.
