Sacramento Kings vs. Toronto Raptors Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - December 14 | 2022-23 NBA Season
The Toronto Raptors play host to the Sacramento Kings at the Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday (December 14) in NBA Regular Season action.
Both sides are quite high up in their respective Conference standings, as the 14-12 Kings are currently seventh in the West, while the Raptors are ninth in the East. Similarly, both sides are looking to end their two-game losing streaks with a win tonight, at the expense of the other. The betting odds and predictions are given below:
It was the 76ers’ big three that sank the Kings in their last game as they lost 103-123 against the Philadelphia side. Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox had an off-night as they only combined for 35 points between them. A 31-point masterclass by Joel Embiid made it very clear who the best center on the court was.
For the Raptors, it was an outstanding night for Pascal Siakam, scoring 36-9-7 against the Magic in the game prior to their last in which they lost 109-113. Orlando’s Franz Wagner put up a rip-roaring performance, scoring 34 points and handing Toronto their 13th and 14th loss of the campaign. With those defeats, the Raptors fell below .500 as they currently sit with a 13-14 record.
Siakam is currently averaging a phenomenal 25-9-7 statline on 57.5% true shooting. If the Raptors are to win against the Kings, he’s going to have to be the one to do it.

Kings vs. Raptors Betting Prediction
The Kings have a strong chance of winning this game. They have the advantage at the #5 over the Raptors as Achiuwa and Anunoby are both out injured. This is the perfect opportunity for Kings’ talisman Sabonis to put on a great show from the center slot. After a dim show last time out, Fox and Sabonis will be out to get blood.
