The Sacramento Kings travel to take on the Philadelphia 76ers on November 30, 2016.  This article predicts the Kings’ box score for that game.

The Sacramento Kings travel to the City of Brotherly Love to take on the Philadelphia 76ers tonight.  The Kings are coming off a grueling overtime loss to the Washington Wizards 101-95 on Monday.  Below is a highlight video from that game in case you missed the action.

Without further ado, let us get to my prediction of the Kings’ box score for the game tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Box Score Prediction

Philadelphia is not a great defensive unit.  They have the NBA’s 24th highest defensive rating at 106.4 points allowed per 100 possessions.  Couple that with their individual defensive ratings and other than Joel Embiid, Robert Covington, and Gerald Henderson the rotation in Philly is pretty leaky on defense.

The DeMarcus Cousins versus Joel Embiid matchup is worth the price of admission tonight.  Embiid a stout defender at an impressive 98.5 points allowed per 100 possessions according to NBA.com/stats.  DeMarcus has been on fire recently, so my mouth is watering at the thought of seeing these two go head to head tonight.

Watch Darren Collison tonight for a sneaky good game.  Philly can be a team that struggles against point guards and Collison is getting 32 minutes a night now (granted some of it is sharing the court with Ty Lawson).  I think it could be a good game for Darren tonight in Philadelphia.

Summary

There you have it, my predicted Kings’ box score against the 76ers tonight.  Philadelphia has been impressive in recent games and Embiid is truly one of the best players to watch in the NBA, so tune in tonight’s game and enjoy it.  It should be an entertaining contest and a likely Kings victory the ultimate win-win.
