Kings vs. Pistons Game Info
Sacramento Kings (12-20, 5-9 Away) vs. Detroit Pistons (9-23, 6-8 Home)
Date: Friday, Feb. 26, 2021
Time: 8 p.m. EST
Venue: Little Caesars Arena — Detroit, Mich.
We have two bad teams facing off in this game. The Kings are really struggling, losing nine straight games. The Pistons have lost four of their last five, so something has to give in this game.
The Kings are capable of scoring, but they don’t even think about playing defense. They have the worst defensive efficiency in the league by far (116.8), and they allow over 120 points per game. In fact, they are so bad that they gave up 140 points last game in regulation to the Knicks, who average the second-fewest points in the league (104.7).
The Pistons by no means are good, but they have at least been competitive lately. They continue to keep Blake Griffin out and Delon Wright is out hurt, but they have young players who have stepped up and continued to develop throughout this season. The Pistons traded for point guard Dennis Smith Jr., who is coming off his best game of the season, in which he put up 11 points and 7 assists. He will be the starter matched up against De’Aaron Fox tonight.

Kings vs. Pistons Prediction
It’s always tough to predict the final result when two bad teams face off. This can make betting the game total a bit more enticing. With the Pistons’ weakness being their offense and the Kings not stopping anyone at all, the over looks to be the best bet in this game.
Prediction: Over 227.5 (-110)
