Phoenix Suns at Sacramento Kings
Golden 1 Center, 2pm AEDT
Two Pacific Division rivals will come together on Saturday, with the Sacramento Kings playing hosts to the Phoenix Suns. The Kings have enjoyed a lengthy homestand and will be playing their fifth straight at the Golden 1 Center. They won their first three during this stretch but were embarrassed last start against the Celtics. Meanwhile, the Suns struggles continued last game when they lost to the lowly Trail Blazers. The Suns have now lost three in a row on their travels and will be fighting an uphill battle again on Saturday as they’ll be without both Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic. Poor form and injuries to key players make the Suns the underdogs against the Kings and that’s totally justified in my opinion. The Kings will be looking to bounce back sharply after their most recent performance and should be able to take care of the undermanned Suns on this occasion.

Washington Wizards at Golden State Warriors
Chase Center, 2pm AEDT
The Washington Wizards continue their lengthy road trip with a stopover in the Bay Area to take on the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. The Wizards recorded an extremely rare road win in their last outing against the Trail Blazers, coming out on top by one point in a battle of two rebuilding sides. That win was just the Wizards fourth for the entire season and their second from their last 10 games. Elsewhere, the Warriors pulled off a morale-building win over the stacked Celtics last game, coming from behind late to secure the win in overtime. Steph Curry was at his scintillating best in the win with 33 points including the game-winning three. The Warriors have been playing in some high-scoring games this season and you can expect that to continue on Saturday with the Wizards coming to town. Both defences rank in the bottom 10 in the league and the Warriors will be without their two best defenders in Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins. Take the overs here.
