Sacramento Kings
Vegas Over/Under: 28.5
The Record Projection: 28-54 of fromal The Bet: lean although Prevent under
If any over/under mark looks right on the money, it is the one set for the Sacramento Kings. But we will still lean ever so slightly toward the under, largely for reasons clarified by ESPN.com’s Kevin Pelton as he chased the Western Conference bottom-feeders to win only 27.4 matches:
„Despite incorporating veterans Vince Carter, George Hill and Zach Randolph as free agents, the Kings are projected since the league’s second-worst offensive attack by RPM. Although this isn’t a part of the projection, few teams are going to have more incentive to improve their draft selection, as Sacramento will not possess its first-rounder in 2019 because of commerce.“
That incentive to tank is big, and it might not even be as impactful as the possible loss of Randolph. Explaining a scenario that could soon apply to the veteran power forward, Ronald Tillery composed for The Commerical Appeal:“The team’s collective bargaining agreement with the players‘ association says a participant will be dismissed and disqualified from the NBA if he is convicted of, or pleads guilty, no contest or nolo contendere to, a crime involving the prosecution supply of marijuana.“
Moments would be push by losing Randolph upon the Kings‘ ever-expanding assortment of inexperienced gamers. And that’s the theme of this roster, as management has done a praiseworthy job of establishing their coffers following the passing of DeMarcus Cousins.
That approach just will not turn into wins.
