Sacramento Kings Daily Fantasy Spin
Kings power forward Domantas Sabonis will miss Sunday’s game with a hamstring strain. The former Indiana Pacer is averaging 19.5 points, 14.1 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game while shooting 59.6% from the floor this season. Veteran big man Jonas Valanciunas will start in Sabonis’s place on Sunday.
Sacramento shooting guard Malik Monk will sit out Sunday’s contest with a toe injury. Monk is putting up 17.6 points and 5.9 assists per game in 32.5 minutes per contest this year. Third-year guard Keon Ellis will slide into the starting lineup with Monk out of commission this weekend.
Los Angeles Clippers Daily Fantasy Spin
Clippers guard Norman Powell will remain out of the lineup Sunday due to a right hamstring strain. The UCLA product will be re-evaluated sometime next week. Powell is averaging a career-high 23.8 points per game in 33.0 minutes per contest for the Clippers this season.
Los Angeles point guard Ben Simmons will miss Sunday’s game with a knee injury. The former Brooklyn Net is averaging 6.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game in 38 appearances across Brooklyn and L.A. this year.

Kings vs. Clippers NBA Prediction:
Sacramento traded away star point guard De’Aaron Fox at the trading deadline, but they got a good haul in return. The Kings brought in former Bulls guard Zach LaVine. In 13 starts with Sacramento, LaVine is averaging 23.4 points per game on 51.2% shooting from the field. The trade seems to have galvanized the Kings. Since LaVine first suited up for Sacramento on February 5th, the Kings are 8-5 straight up with wins over Houston, Dallas (twice), and San Antonio during that stretch.
Sacramento won’t have center Domantas Sabonis for this contest, but that shouldn’t be a problem. The Kings have been using Jonas Valanciunas at center to great effect with Sabonis sidelined. Ditto for substituting guard Keon Ellis for the injured Malik Monk. Sacramento might not have the top-end star power that Los Angeles does, but I think the Kings are the deeper team. I believe we’ll see that borne out on the floor on Sunday. I’m taking the Kings and the points on the road in Inglewood. The pick is Sacramento +5.5 at Bovada.lv.
