On Feb. 2, 2022, the first time these teams played one another during this regular season, Sacramento won 112-101 at Golden 1 Center. That victory ended the Kings’ six-game losing streak against the Nets. Due to the number of players Brooklyn has out, this game favors Sacramento.

According to the team’s injury report, Brooklyn will have to find a way to win without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Kings vs Nets Prediction | NBA Picks
Moreover, upon further review of these teams’ betting statistics, Sacramento is 9-10 as a favorite, 13-26 as an underdog and 15-14-1 ATS away, whereas Brooklyn is 23-15 as a favorite, 6-12 as an underdog and 5-20-1 ATS at home. Simply put, the Nets are a mess right now. They are without Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and even Ben Simmons remains out due to conditioning. However, are the Nets’ problems mostly related to team chemistry? James Harden is gone. Now the team needs to maintain a healthier roster.
Leading into Monday night’s Eastern Conference rematch, Sacramento is a 3.5-point favorite on the road. Aside from their one loss against the Kings earlier this month, the Nets have their number. Having said that, the Nets are struggling to overcome their injuries. So, pick the Kings to win, they will cover the spread and the total will go under 227.
