It’s time to continue our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting/">NBA odds series</a> with a Kings-Celtics prediction and pick.</p><p>The Sacramento Kings are coming off a close loss to the Milwaukee Bucks last time out 133-127. The Kings almost won without star De’Aaron Fox who is out with an ankle injury. He is likely to miss this game against the Celtics as well. They are 18-30 on the season which puts them 14th in the Western Conference. The Celtics are 24-24 on the season which puts them in the 8-seed in the East. Boston is coming off of a blowout win over the Washington Wizards 116-87 and looks to keep their momentum going at home against the Kings.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Kings-Celtics NBA odds, <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/basketball/nba/sacramento-kings-@-boston-celtics-31193660">courtesy of FanDuel</a>. </i></b></p><h2>NBA Odds: Kings-Celtics Odds</h2><p>Sacramento Kings: +8 (-106)</p><p>Boston Celtics: -8  (-114)</p><p>Over: 220.5 (-110)</p><p>Under: 220.5 (-110)</p><p><b><i>*Watch NBA Games LIVE with</i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/collegefootball/?irad=399332&amp;irmp=492408"> <b><i>fuboTV (click for free trial)</i></b></a></p><h2>Why The Kings Could Cover The Spread</h2><p>The Kings have a pretty good roster on paper and they actually have had that for a few years now. They just can not get over the hump and win games consistently. Sacramento has been irrelevant for the past decade if not longer and hasn’t made the playoffs in that same span. This team constantly gets a high draft pick but it’s not like they are choosing the wrong guy, they are just not putting it all together to create a dynasty. Fox is an elite guard who has elevated his game since joining the NBA. Marvin Bagley III is not at the level he should be, but is a former No. 2 overall pick. Tyrese Haliburton is on his way to becoming a superstar and of course, we can not forget about Harrison Barnes. Richaun Holmes is an improved big man as well so there is a bunch of talent on that roster. They need to really figure it out.</p><p>As for covering this spread against the Celtics, they need all those players to step up. Fox won’t be playing so it will be on Haliburton and Barnes to take control of the backcourt. Jayson Tatum is coming off of a 50-piece so his offense will be tough to stop. They must contain him and Jaylen Brown and if they are able to do that, then they will have a chance to cover this spread. With the spread this big, they have a chance even if Tatum and Brown both play well, the Kings just need to match offense for offense.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/" rel="noopener"><b>Click here for our Risk Free $1000 Bet!</b></a></p><p><i>*To claim, new users need to register, make a first deposit, and then simply place their first real-money wager on FanDuel Sportsbook up to $1000!

Marcus Smart returned which helped their defensive efforts out tremendously. The former two-time All-NBA defender can defend any guard in the league, so he is a major part of their success. The Celtics will have an easier outing with Fox not playing for the Kings. So if they want to cover this spread, they need to defend Haliburton which has proven to be a tough task. Haliburton can score with the best of them and his defense is improving as well. He alongside Fox has formed a very good backcourt but they just need to put it all together.</p><p>The Celtics need Tatum to play consistently. That is questionable for me to say considering he just had his sixth 50-point game of his career. The problem is Tatum is not consistent as he has off nights more often than not. Brown is the same way as we have seen them go off for 20+ points and not even reach 15 points the following game. That can not continue to happen because the Celtics run through the two of them. If they aren’t playing well then neither is the rest of the team. Both Tatum and Brown need to play extremely well if they want to cover this large spread. Boston is 15-10 at TD Garden and the Kings are 6-14 on the road.</p><h2>Final Kings-Celtics Prediction &amp; Pick</h2><p>This is not an easy one to choose because of the spread being where it’s at. Because the Kings played a tough and close game against the Bucks last time out, I’m taking them to cover this spread. Take the Kings even without Fox and hope that Tatum doesn’t go off for 50 points in back-to-back games.</p><p><b>Final Kings-Celtics Prediction &amp; Pick: Kings +8 (-106) </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, both the Hawks and the Kings are also aware that the Sixers are willing to wait out on a Ben Simmons <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-trade-rumors-kings-hawks-the-strongest-ben-simmons-suitors-for-sixers/">trade</a>, with the allure of a potential James Harden deal with the Brooklyn Nets in the offseason.</p><p>With that, Atlanta and Sacramento are also joining the Jerami Grant sweepstakes, according to <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2952746-sources-explain-why-james-harden-would-welcome-new-scenery-next-season">Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report</a>.</p><blockquote>As the Sixers continue to hold firm in their lofty asking price, with that Harden-sized elephant always in the room, both Atlanta and Sacramento have emerged as strong suitors for Jerami Grant, sources told B/R. The Hawks and Kings join a long list of teams that includes the Lakers, Trail Blazers, Knicks, Jazz and Timberwolves among others. The Bulls have continued exploring avenues to land Grant without sacrificing prized swingman Patrick Williams, sources said.</blockquote><p>There seems to be no established package yet that either Atlanta or Sacramento has put up in an effort to extricate Grant from the Detroit Pistons, based on current NBA trade rumors. But for the Hawks, it’s possible that John Collins could be one that Atlanta will be willing to let go in exchange for Grant. For the Kings, it could be Marvin Bagley III, who could be an asset Sacramento would be very much willing to offload in such a deal.</p><blockquote>While there’s been no direct indication on particular trade frameworks for Atlanta’s pursuit of Grant, the Hawks have grown more active in searching for a new home for John Collins, sources said, and Collins’ salary works in a direct swap for Grant. The Kings are said to have removed De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton from any ongoing trade conversations, though Marvin Bagley III has consistently drawn interest from Detroit.</blockquote><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

According to <a href="https://theathletic.com/3088096/2022/01/24/with-ben-simmons-james-harden-trade-a-hope-worth-waiting-for-sources-say-sixers-prefer-a-summer-deal/">Shams Charania of The Athletic</a>, the Philadelphia 76ers are willing to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-rumors-philly-really-wants-to-wait-out-a-ben-simmons-trade-to-get-james-harden/">wait out</a> a Simmons trade with Brooklyn Nets star James Harden on their mind. But in terms of inquiring with the Sixers about Simmons, the Nets are behind the Sacramento Kings and the Atlanta Hawks, per Charania.</p><blockquote>Sacramento and Atlanta have been among the most engaged recently in talks on Simmons, sources said, but team officials with those organizations doubt the 76ers will lower the price threshold for Simmons before Feb. 10. Between now and Feb. 10, the 76ers will continue taking calls and examining potential framework of offers presented to them.</blockquote><p>The Sixers have an unsurprisingly expensive price label on Simmons according to the NBA trade rumors.</p><blockquote>For Simmons, the 76ers have asked the Kings for guard Tyrese Haliburton and multiple first-round picks, and asked for a package around John Collins and multiple first-round picks from the Hawks along with Atlanta taking on Tobias Harris, multiple sources tell The Athletic. The Athletic reported on Wednesday that the Kings do not plan to move De’Aaron Fox or Haliburton and want to build around them.</blockquote><p>The Kings’ stance on De’Aaron Fox seems to be a fluid one and depends on what they can come away with in such a package that would include the guard. It was recently rumored that Sacramento has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-rumors-sacramento-changes-tune-on-deaaron-fox-in-trade-pursuit-of-pacers-star-domantas-sabonis/">changed its tune</a> on trading Fox and that the Kings are now willing to trade him if it would mean that they will secure Domantas Sabonis from the Indiana Pacers or Simmons from the Sixers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Tyrese Haliburton and Harrison Barnes have been impressive but players like De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield have been subpar. One other notable asset who was phenomenal last season to their success was Richaun Holmes.</p><p>Holmes was a lackluster bench player for the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns in the earlier part of his career, but he has found his rejuvenated self in Sacramento. His efficiency, rebounding and swats have been tremendous over his Kings stint but injuries, COVID protocols and rotational adjustments are just some of the reasons on his down year. As his value is lower and the Kings have expressed their interest to listen offers for Holmes, there are a few franchises that must pounce on this opportunity.</p><h2><b>Richaun Holmes Trade Destinations </b></h2><p><b>Charlotte Hornets</b></p><p>When there is a big available on the market, the Charlotte Hornets must also inquire on these individuals that is one glaring hole on their lineup. Their guards and wings are impeccable already, but the four and five positions could still be bolstered for them to compete with the powerhouses in the Eastern Conference. Richaun Holmes would complement well alongside the core of LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges.</p><p>James Borrego’s offensive schemes would be a perfect destination for Holmes as he would likely reach his ceiling and showcase his true wares. Even with Holmes receiving a slew of lobs and pick and roll conversions, it is his leaping ability and rim protection that will prove to be more vital. Adding Holmes to aid Mason Plumlee gives them more options in containing the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, and Kevin Durant.</p><p><b>Dallas Mavericks</b></p><p>With Kristaps Porzingis continually maximizing his talent from outside the paint, it is ideal for head coach Jason Kidd to pair him with a big that excels as a roller and a boatload of energy to crash the boards. Holmes fits that realm because Luka Doncic and Holmes could run several pick and rolls every game, which could wreak havoc for defenses. Additionally, shooters would be lurking in the corner to create space for Doncic as well.</p><p>Holmes would be an upgrade from Dwight Powell as the secondary big alongside Porzingis. Maxi Kleber and Dorian Finney-Smith are terrific shooters from the wing positions who would complement Holmes as well. Moreover, Kidd’s priorities are focused on the defensive side of the court which would form a tremendous partnership with Richaun Holmes.</p><p><b>New York Knicks</b></p><p>The New York Knicks are in dire need to upgrade their front court rotation of Mitchell Robinson, Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson. Holmes is a massive boost to Julius Randle on both ends of the court if the Knicks could manufacture a deal before the trade deadline. The three aforementioned centers have been underwhelming and inconsistent this season which is also one of the reasons for their disappointing 2021-22 campaign.</p><p>The value of the Knicks players might not be as enticing for Sacramento, but Leon Rose could be willing to part with Obi Toppin or even Noel to acquire Holmes. Head coach Tom Thibodeau relishes for players that work hard on every possession and hustles constantly for the 50/50 balls. Holmes would be incredible in the culture and environment he intends to build in Madison Square Garden. Kemba Walker is another one struggling for New York, but his dish-offs could open up through the incredible positioning and relentlessness of Richaun Holmes.</p><p>There is no doubt that the Kings will have a busy and exhausting time before the trade deadline, but Holmes is a tremendous asset who possess commendable basketball brilliance. It is ironic for Sacramento to shop him after signing him to a long term extension in the offseason, but if they are adamant in giving him up for future assets, then teams must be persistent. Even if his contract is for four years, it is not much of a headache since it is less than $15 million a year.</p><p>Richaun Holmes has a unique style of play and Sacramento should not waste it on  just nobody once again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With that said, it’s a good time to check out our , which includes our Kings-Bucks prediction, odds, and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>The Sacramento Kings are coming off disappointing losses to two of the worst teams in the NBA. They lost 133-131 to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night and 118-112 to the worst team in the West, the Houston Rockets on Sunday. They will definitely want to get back on track. But doing so will be a tall task as they get the defending champs next.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Bucks took down the Chicago Bulls on Friday night with a 94-90 victory. The win dethroned the Bulls atop the East standings. Milwaukee also doused some water on one of the hottest teams in the league in the Memphis Grizzlies earlier this week with a 126-114 win. Wednesday’s game marked Jrue Holiday’s first game back since going down with an ankle injury earlier in January. He has averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/holidjr01/gamelog/2022#806-807-sum:pgl_basic">11.0 points</a>, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in two games off the bench since returning to the floor.</p><p><i><b><b>Here is how <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/basketball/nba/sacramento-kings-@-milwaukee-bucks-31187555">FanDuel </a></b></b><b><b>has set the </b></b><b><b>Kings-Bucks</b></b><b><b> NBA odds for this Saturday night NBA matchup.</b></b></i></p><h2>Why the Kings could cover the spread</h2><p>The Sacramento Kings are the obvious underdogs for this game. Coming off two disappointing defeats, however, there should enter with extra fuel to bring their A-game against the reigning NBA champions. <a href="https://twitter.com/TyHaliburton22/status/1484581528491417605?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1484581528491417605%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1619319action%3Dedit">Tyrese Haliburton</a>, who did not play in those two losses, personally announced on his Twitter account that he has cleared the league’s health and safety protocols. As such, the Kings are reportedly at <a href="https://twitter.com/JandersonSacBee/status/1484760481453592578?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1484760481453592578%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1619319action%3Dedit">full strength</a> heading into Saturday, per Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee.</p><p>Getting Haliburton back is certainly going to be a huge boost for the Kings. The 6-foot-5 guard is in the midst of a magnificent sophomore campaign, averaging <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/tyrese-haliburton/a775093e/stats">13.7 points</a>, 3.9 rebounds, and 7.1 assists (11th in the NBA). He is also shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from three, which ranks 7th across the Association. His return likely won’t be enough to take down the Bucks, which are getting healthier themselves. Nonetheless, Haliburton’s all-around game and playmaking ability gives the Kings a different dynamic and could help the Kings stay competitive against one of the best teams in the NBA.</p><p>The Kings are 18-29 on the season and are 5-9 against Eastern Conference teams. They have also not won a game in Milwaukee since November 2015. Against the spread, they are 20-27 this season. As 10-point underdogs, it could be worth noting that 16 of their 29 losses were of the double-digit variety.</p><h2>Why the Bucks could cover the spread</h2><p>The Bucks are obviously favored to win, but will they be able to win by at least double-digits? With the disparity between them and the Kings, it’s certainly possible. Milwaukee has had Sacramento’s number over the last five seasons. They enter Saturday’s game with a 10-game winning streak over the Kings dating back to November 2016.</p><p>As mentioned, Milwaukee got Jrue Holiday back after he spent six games on the sidelines with an ankle injury. Getting the 31-year old back gives the Bucks a huge boost on both ends of the floor with elite defense and high-level playmaking. According to StatMuse, <a href="https://twitter.com/statmuse/status/1484734189085749250?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1484734189085749250%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1619319action%3Dedit">Milwaukee is 18-3 when its Big Three is playing</a>. This is not good news for the Kings. Holiday has come off the bench since returning from injury. There is still no report from the Bucks on when the one-time All-Star will assume his starting spot once again.</p><p>Obviously, Milwaukee is still without starting center Brook Lopez, who has not played since opening night. The 33-year-old underwent back surgery in December and still does not have a timetable for his return. Nonetheless, backup big man Bobby Portis has stepped up in a huge way in Lopez’s absence. In 33 starts this season, Portis is averaging <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/bobby-portis/b75b09d3/splits">15.9 points</a> and 9.7 rebounds, while shooting 49.4 percent from the field and 44.5 percent from beyond the arc.</p><p>The Bucks hold the 4th best record in the East with a 29-19 record and are 10-4 against Eastern Conference teams. Against the spread, however, they are just 21-27, which should be something to consider when making this pick.</p><p><b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/" rel="noopener">Click here for our Risk Free $1000 Bet!</a></b></p><p><i>*To claim, new users need to register, make a first deposit, and then simply place their first real-money wager on FanDuel Sportsbook up to $1000!

Arguably the biggest topic in the association right now involves the Philadelphia 76ers and Ben Simmons.</p><p>Dating back to the summer, Simmons and his camp made it clear the former No. 1 pick prefers a change of scenery. Daryl Morey has surveyed the trade market, but a suitable return for the Sixers has yet to surface. The longtime Houston Rockets executive has made it abundantly clear he will remain patient until an offer comes about that increases the Sixers’ odds of competing for an NBA championship.</p><p>Throughout this saga, multiple teams have expressed interest in acquiring the three-time All-Star. One organization that has been a common fixture in reports for months now is the Sacramento Kings. Given how determined they are to get back to the postseason, it is no surprise they have been hot on the Simmons trail.</p><p>In recent weeks there have been multiple reports about the Kings and Sixers facilitating a deal for Simmons. Some even brought up the possibility of Sacramento acquiring Tobias Harris as well. At this point, if a deal were to go down, the Kings have to be the favorites to win the Simmons sweepstakes.</p><p>Thursday afternoon, Daryl Morey <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-news-daryl-morey-flat-out-claims-theres-a-ben-simmons-trade-that-could-work-with-kings/">appeared on 97.5 The Fanatic</a> and was interviewed on <i>The Mike Missanelli Show</i>. Multiple topics were covered, from Joel Embiid’s recent play to the upcoming trade deadline. He was even asked about the rumors regarding the Kings’ strong interest in Simmons.</p><p>When Sacramento was brought up, Morey had a rather shocking response. He feels there is a trade to be made between the two organizations.</p><p>“I can tell you for sure there are deals with the Sacramento Kings that I think would work. Will those deals ever happen? I have no idea. Are they just straight deals with the Kings? Probably not. Is it multiple teams? probably. But for sure, there are deals that are possible that would go over our line,” said Morey.</p><p>Morey did not dive into said offers, but it’s clear he is monitoring the situation with Sacramento. One thing this statement does confirm is the Sixers have little interest in acquiring Kings guard De’Aaron Fox. With the emergence of Tyrese Maxey this season, they could be reluctant to pursue another point guard with a similar skill set.</p><p>As far as multi-team trades go, the Kings would make an excellent partner. Between Fox, Harrison Barnes and Buddy Hield, Sacramento has multiple sizeable contracts, making them an ideal partner to help facilitate trades from a financial standpoint.</p><p>Given some of Morey’s other comments in the interview, it feels unlikely we see Simmons traded before February 10th. But based on this statement, the Kings are a team to keep a close eye on in the coming weeks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the source said the Sixers aren’t interested in that package.”</blockquote><p>From the Kings’ standpoint, this would be an interesting trade option because if they chose to move all of these players, they may not receive the return they desire from the Sixers. Philadelphia has clearly held out in the hopes of obtaining a top-25 player, which the Kings are unwilling to provide unless they include a player like De’Aaron Fox in the trade.</p><p>The Sixers would be much more interested if the Kings included Fox in the trade and removed someone like Buddy Hield.</p><p>It will be intriguing to watch what deal the Sixers and Ben Simmons finally strike, but there is a potential that this may not happen before or around the trade deadline.

Fox was so far off the table he wasn’t discussed when the Kings approached the Philadelphia 76ers about Ben Simmons last summer, sources with knowledge of the talks told The Bee, but now Fox is reportedly part of those conversations as well.</blockquote><p>There are a number of Kings assets that have been constantly in trade rumors, but Fox usually isn’t part of that group.

After that point, however, the Cardinals would go on to win just five more games all year, finishing with a 12-6 overall record and as the losers of five of their final six games (including the playoffs.)</p><p>Unfortunately for Kingsbury, collapses have been a common theme in his coaching career, from college to the NFL. As the head coach at Texas Tech, he lost five of his last six games in 2013, four of his final six games in 2014, four of his last six games in 2015, six of his final eight contests in 2016, six of his final eight games in 2017,  and all of his final five games as Tech head coach in 2018.</p><p>In Arizona, things did not get much better as Kingsbury’s Cardinals teams continued to fall off of a proverbial “cliff” in the second half of the season. Under Kingsbury, Arizona lost seven of their final nine games in 2019, lost five of their final seven games in 2020, and then had this year’s aforementioned debacle. Here are three reasons (besides the collapsing) that Kingsbury should be fired from the Cardinals.</p><p><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with fuboTV (<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/stream-nfl/">click for free trial</a>)*</b></p><h2>Three reasons the Cardinals must fire Kliff Kingsbury</h2><p><b>3. His system is flawed</b></p><p>Kliff Kingsbury has famously tried to implement as close to an <a href="https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/air-raid-quarterbacks-have-failed-spectacularly-in-the-nfl-caveat-emptor-with-pat-mahomes-01dxkyw9vecg">“Air Raid”</a> system as anyone in NFL history. Originally made famous by Hal Mumme, the “Air Raid” is an extremely pass-heavy offense with a running game consisting of very few plays. It does not work in the NFL, because it relies too heavily on making sure your team gets “big-on-big” pass protection, meaning the running back is usually only asked to block linebackers and not defensive lineman. However, that makes the offense vulnerable to sophisticated NFL blitzes. It has also failed because it utilizes very wide offensive line splits, making it difficult to create double teams in the running game. If you can’t double team guys in your own division like Aaron Donald and Nick Bosa, you aren’t going to have success. That has been the case for Kingsbury as he has now faced the Rams and Aaron Donald seven times since Kingsbury entered the NFL and Arizona has won just one of those games.</p><p><b>2. He has never won anything</b></p><p>This one is big because the Cardinals are also a franchise that has never won anything. The Cardinals have never won a Super Bowl and have not even won an NFL championship since 1947 when they were <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_NFL_Championship_Game">still in Chicago</a>. If the franchise is going to get themselves their first Lombardi Trophy, shouldn’t they at least get someone who has won before? Not only has Kingsbury never won a playoff game and his teams have consistently faded at the end of seasons, but he has never even won a BIG-12 conference championship as the head coach of Texas Tech. We get it, the guy looks like a model and should probably run for president, but when it comes to bringing winning football to the desert, Kingsbury does not have the track record to be “that guy.” The Cardinals may want to see what he can do with one more year, considering all of the injuries that the team had in 2021, but that would probably be just their version of “kicking the can down the road,” instead of making a decision right away.</p><p><b>1. The clock is ticking on Kyler Murray’s contract</b></p><p>With just two more seasons left on his <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/kyler-murray-29036/">rookie contrac</a>t (which includes a team option for the second year), Murray could be looking at a huge payday after the 2023 season at the latest. The Cardinals need to put a winning team on the field before Murray’s contract expires or one of two things will happen. One, they could lose Murray to free agency, something that rarely happens to franchise quarterbacks in their prime; or two, they could end up paying Murray $40 million per year instead of the manageable $6-12 million per year that he has made in the first deal. That leaves $30 million per season that the team was able to spend on upgrades around Murray. If he is taking up that amount of capital, it will be hard to improve the team around him. All the more reason for the Cardinals to go all-in on winning in these next two seasons, and if they want to do that, it is probably best to let go of Kingsbury.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

De’Aaron Fox, Tyrese Haliburton, Davion Mitchell, Marvin Bagley, and Buddy Hield are among the team’s young and talented players. Harrison Barnes and Richaun Holmes are among the veterans on the roster.</p><p>When looking at a roster like this, it appears as this is a team that could play at a high level in the Western Conference and possibly win a title. They have five to seven guys who are legitimate players who can contribute significantly to other championship teams.</p><p>The Kings organization will have a hectic trade deadline, and it is possible that they could elect to trade the majority of their major players. According to multiple sources, the Kings are considering trading nearly every important player on their roster. De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Harrison Barnes, Tyrese Haliburton, and others have all been discussed in trade discussions with other teams.</p><p>It would be difficult for them to trade a few of these players because they have the potential to be stars in this league, If the Kings can just do a better job of bringing in other players to fill that role around them, they will be a difficult team to beat in the Western Conference come playoff time.</p><p>According to <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2952559-he-fits-everywhere-inside-the-market-for-nba-trade-deadlines-grand-prize">Bleacher Report</a>, there’s a good probability the Kings will try to trade for Jerami Grant. In order for this trade to go through, the Kings will need to execute a great trade to Detroit that excites them. According to many sources, Grant is attracting a lot of interest, and if the Kings want to add him to their roster, they’ll have to make the best offer possible out of any other teams.</p><p>Let’s take a look at the best trade offer the Kings can make to the Pistons for Grant and why it is the best deal.</p><h2>The best trade offer the Kings can make to the Pistons for Grant</h2><p><b>Kings receive: Jerami Grant</b></p><p><b>Pistons receive: Tyrese Haliburton and Marvin Bagley</b></p><p>Let’s start with Jerami Grant. He is one of the NBA’s best scorers, and he also possesses some size that the Kings might utilize. He is 6 foot 8′ and can score the basketball with ease, allowing him to fit into practically any NBA team and make an immediate impact. He’s currently averaging 20.1 points per game, which is down from 22.3 last season.</p><p>From the Kings’ standpoint, this makes a lot of sense since there are times when they seem small on the court, and adding someone of his height may assist them.</p><p>The Kings may find it difficult to trade Haliburton and Bagley from their own standpoint. Halliburton is a gifted guard who is only in his second NBA season, making it difficult to see why the Kings would decide to trade him. When you consider that he’s shooting almost 43 percent from 3-point range this season on about five attempts per game, it becomes even more difficult to see why they would trade him.</p><p>It is understandable why they would want to get rid of Bagley. He doesn’t appear enthusiastic about playing for this team on some nights, and he doesn’t go out and do what he needs to do to help them compete at a high level. When he was first with Sacramento a few seasons back, they hoped he would come in and be this dominant big man. He had a great first year in the NBA, but he hasn’t been able to find much success since then because he hasn’t been as healthy as they had hoped.</p><p>It would be difficult to explain trading Tyrese Haliburton, but they must recognize that they have De’Aaron Fox, who can simply move into the point guard role because he is generally the one who brings the ball up for this team and runs the offense. They must also consider the fact that Davion Mitchell, a young rookie, is still on the roster. This could make it possible that Halliburton is the odd man out in all of this. Bagley will almost certainly be moved, and if he’s simply an add-in for Halliburton in exchange for Grant, it is a deal the Kings should seriously consider.</p><p>The Kings will have some tough decisions to make, but they also must factor in all of the talent that they already have.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s safe to say he was not holding back on him.</p><blockquote>“I was preparing by just visualizing punching him in the face until he bled. I was also visualizing all the shit he ever talked to anybody. I was like, ‘Yep, this for them’ and I’m just going to break his face, but I gotta give the devil his due, he beat me. There’s no other way to put it. Yeah, I made him bleed and this and that, but at the end of the day, I can sit here and tell you, ‘yeah, I’m the big, tough guy. I tasted his blood.’ But in all honesty, fucking Punk beat me.

And I try every day, folks. I try every day, but like being out here in North Carolina, I like a cookout. I also like Five Guys. I like food, I like Ice Cream, so I gotta work on that. I’m quitting smoking cigarettes. I’ve smoked cigarettes since I was 15. It’s gonna be a little rough, but I’m trying, and I’m trying because I want to be World Champion, and I also want to be a champion of AEW and I want to represent the company.

This is a rematch of Friday’s game which saw Sacramento come away with the 126-114 win. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our , which includes our Rockets-Kings prediction and pick we have laid out below.</p><p>The Rockets lost their previous outing to the Kings. Christian Wood led the way for Houston with 26 points and eight rebounds, while Jae’Sean Tate almost notched a triple-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists.</p><p>Meanwhile, De’Aaron Fox scored 27 points to go along with six rebounds and eight assists to lead the Kings to their second consecutive win. Fourth-year big man Marvin Bagley III also had a monster double-double of 26 points and 13 rebounds, which was easily his best game of the 2021-22 season.</p><p><i><b><b>Here is how</b>  <b>has set the </b></b><b><b>Rockets-Kings</b></b><b><b> NBA odds for this Saturday night NBA matchup.</b></b></i></p><h2><b><b>NBA odds: </b></b><b><b>Rockets-Kings</b></b><b><b> Odds</b></b></h2><p>Houston Rockets: +5.5 (-110)</p><p>Sacramento Kings: -5.5 (-110)</p><p>Over: 239 (-110)</p><p>Under: 239 (-110)</p><p><b><i><b><i>*Watch NBA Games LIVE with</i></b></i></b></p><h2><b><b>Why the Rockets could cover the spread</b></b></h2><p>The Houston Rockets should be the underdogs once again on this one, considering they’ve been one of the worst teams in the NBA this season. Houston did race out to a 40-31 lead after the first quarter last Friday. But that 9-point after the first 12 minutes quickly dissipated as Sacramento countered with a 34-20 second quarter to take a 5-point lead at the half.</p><p>As seen with their win last Friday, the Kings are the more experienced team. Still, Sacramento is very much beatable for a team like Houston, which has had some surprise wins on the road this year. Some of them include Wednesday’s win over the San Antonio Spurs and a 3-point victory over the Washington Wizards earlier this month. Anyone of their young studs from Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr., to their veterans Christian Wood or Eric Gordon, are capable of going off on any given day and leading the Rockets to victory. Being the 5th best 3-point shooting in the league percentage-wise, it’s hard to count out a team that can get it going from beyond the arc.</p><p>With Houston at full strength, they sent their youngsters Usman Garuba, Daishen Nix, Trevelin Queen to its NBA G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Vipers to get more reps. Rookie Alperen Sengun also recently returned to the lineup on Friday against the Kings following a two-week absence. The skilled Turkish center should give Houston added an front-court boost to matchup against Sacramento’s big men.</p><p>Houston holds the worst record in the West at 12-32. They are 5-19 on the road and 5-18 against their fellow Western Conference teams. Against the spread, the Rockets have an 18-25 mark.</p><h2><b><b>Why the Kings could cover the spread</b></b></h2><p>The Sacramento Kings have the advantage heading into Sunday’s matchup. They already know what it’s going to take to beat Houston, as evidenced by their win last Friday. Still, for an inconsistent team like Sacramento, it’s hard to be comfortable in a matchup against a young and energetic Rockets team. On paper, the Kings have the more talented squad.</p><p>They managed to climb out of an early hole on Friday and easily erased a 9-point deficit after the first quarter. The Kings won the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters and handily beat Houston by 12. They shot 50 percent from the field and drained 13 3-pointers on the evening. Led by Fox’s 27 and Bagley’s 26, Sacramento had three other players in double-figures. Sophomore guard Tyrese Haliburton also had another all-around outing with nine points, six rebounds, and 12 assists.</p><p>Kings center Richaun Holmes has yet to suit up in 2022 after he entered the league’s health and safety protocols. He was already cleared from protocols prior to Friday’s game but ultimately sat out for conditioning. Sacramento has listed him as questionable heading into Sunday’s game, per the latest injury report. We should get an update if he’s ready to go sometime in the afternoon. Like Holmes, Damian Jones is also working his way back from protocols and is also questionable against Houston. Meanwhile, the Kings will be without veteran big man Tristan Thompson as he is dealing with a non-COVID illness.</p><p>Sacramento is just outside the play-in picture with an 18-27 mark, which is just a half-game behind the 10th seeded Portland Trail Blazers. They have a 12-14 record at Golden 1 Center and are 13-19 against the West. Sacramento also has a 20-25 record against the spread.</p><h2><b><b>Final </b></b><b><b>Rockets-Kings</b></b><b><b> prediction and pick</b></b></h2><p>The Kings should be the safer bet here. They played three solid quarters of basketball against the Rockets on Friday and that should give them more confidence to duplicate their performance on Sunday. Still, Houston has enough firepower to have an explosive game from 3-point country. They could also make the necessary adjustments to play better than they did last Friday.</p><p><b><b>Final </b></b><b><b>Rockets-Kings</b></b><b><b> Prediction &amp; Pick: Kings: -6 (-110)</b></b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
