Sacramento Kings vs Miami Heat: Current situation
The hiring of former Kings legend Doug Christie as their new interim head coach has worked well so far, with the Kings responding with 3 wins in 4 games. Combined with the Minnesota Timberwolves losing 3 in a row, the Kings are now just 1.5 games back from the 10th seed which would see them in the play-in tournament. Apart from the raw numbers that show improvement, the mood in general around the team has improved drastically since head coach Mike Brown has been fired.
Speaking of atmospheres around teams, the one around Miami is pretty bad right now. Jimmy Butler has publicly demanded a trade, the Heat responded by suspending him for 7 games. This has resulted in two lackluster efforts in losses to Indiana and Utah, right now the Heat are looking for solutions on where to trade Butler. Him requesting a trade publicly has made it difficult, because teams now know that he wants out and they are using that in the negotiations with his team.
Sacramento Kings Stats & Form
Prior to Monday’s game the Kings will be in San Francisco taking on the Golden State Warriors, so this will be a 2nd night of a back-to-back for them. They are just 3-4 SU in 7 such games this year, so this will be a huge test for them. The offense has really started to click in the last 3 games, with them averaging 120.3 points per game. Maintaining that high of a scoring will result in a lot of regular season wins.
Miami Heat Stats & Form
The 38-point home loss to Utah was one of the worst in franchise history for Miami, head coach Eric Spoelstra will be challenging his team’s effort after such a lackluster performance. The Heat went just 9-for-35 from three-point land, the play of Bam Adebayo was a particular lowlight as he went just 0-for-6 from the field and scored 4 points on the night. Don’t be surprised if we see changes in the starting line-up for this game.
Sacramento Kings vs Miami Heat: Head-to-Head
Sacramento’s win in the first meeting of the season actually ended a 3-game win streak for the Miami Heat in head-to-head meetings. Being in different Conferences these two teams play each other only twice a year, which means we’ve seen only 72 regular season meetings all time between them. The Heat hold a dominant lead with 47 wins to just 25 by the Kings.
Sacramento Kings – Miami Heat Odds
If you fancy De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings here, you can get odds of 5/6 for a home win. If you’re backing the Heat to end their mini 2-game losing streak, you can get odds of 11/8
The point total has been set at 223.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Sacramento Kings vs Miami Heat (06.01.2025)
The Miami Heat are in a funk right now and Saturday’s game against the Utah Jazz proved that. Losing to one of the worst teams in the league by 38 points at home is inexcusable, especially for a reputable franchise like the Heat are. The saga around Jimmy Butler has escalated with the team suspending him for 7 games, looks like the rest of the Heat roster did not respond well to that news. The team has now allowed 128 and 136 points over their last 2 home games, that’s not a good sign going into Sacramento on Monday night. The Kings won the first meeting 111-110 back in early November, plus they are currently on a 3-game win streak and are slowly turning things around with new head coach Doug Christie in charge. Sacramento just knocked down 21 threes in their impressive home win over Memphis, this could spell trouble for the Heat who are allowing opponents to shoot 37.5% from downtown over their 3 most recent games. There is also a noticeable increase of points scored in the paint vs Miami in their last 3 games, teams have averaged 56.7 per game during that stretch compared to their season average of 48.4. if the Kings are smart here, their gameplan will revolve around speeding up the tempo and forcing the Heat to turn the ball over or take ill-advised shots. With the Kings covering the spread in 6 of the last 10 meetings, we feel like sticking with the trends is a good bet here, so let’s back the home team to cover.
