They faced defeats against the Timberwolves, Nuggets, and Pacers. The Kings managed to score over 100 points in each game but allowed their opponents to score more, leading to losses.</p> <p>On offense, the Kings rank low in several categories this season. They are 28th in points per game, averaging 110.8. Their three-point shooting has also been an issue, as they make only 10.8 threes per game, the lowest in the league.</p> <p>The Kings will miss key players due to injuries. Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis, and Drew Eubanks are out for the upcoming games. This means the team will rely more on players like Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan to step up.</p> <h2>Portland Trail Blazers Team Preview</h2> <p>The Portland Trail Blazers are coming off a close win against the Golden State Warriors. In that game, Shaedon Sharpe led the team with 35 points, shooting 66.7% from the field. Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant also contributed with 26 and 35 points, respectively.</p> <p>Currently, the Trail Blazers are averaging 118.2 points per game, ranking 12th in the league. They shoot a lot of threes, making 14 per game, but their three-point percentage is just 33.5%. Despite their offensive efforts, they allow 121.9 points per game, which is near the bottom of the league.</p> <p>The Trail Blazers are dealing with several injuries. Jrue Holiday is out with a calf strain and Damian Lillard is recovering from an Achilles injury. Matisse Thybulle, Blake Wesley, and Scoot Henderson are also sidelined with various injuries, affecting the team's depth.</p> <h2>BTB Betting Pick</h2> <p>The Trail Blazers are favored by 9 points against the Kings. With the Kings allowing 122.4 points per game and the Trail Blazers scoring 118.2 points, the Trail Blazers are projected to win 121-110. Taking the Trail Blazers -9.0 is recommended due to their stronger offensive output and the Kings' defensive struggles.</p> <p>The over/under line is set at 237.5 points. The combined projected score of 231 suggests betting the under is a good choice. Both teams have defenses that allow a high number of points, but the Kings' offensive ranking is low, which may keep the total score under the set line.</p>
