Through 2 Quarters
Down five at the end of last quarter, the Philadelphia 76ers have now snagged the lead. It’s anybody’s game at halftime, but Philadelphia is ahead of the Sacramento Kings 55-52.
The 76ers haven’t had any offensive standouts so far with all players held to 12 points or fewer. Sacramento has been led by shooting guard Buddy Hield, who so far has 16 points in addition to six boards.
The Kings haven’t been much of a second-half team this season, losing 86% of the time when they were down at the break.

What to Know
The Sacramento Kings haven’t won a game against the Philadelphia 76ers since Feb. 2 of 2019, but they’ll be looking to end the drought on Monday. The Kings will stay at home another game and welcome Philadelphia at 10 p.m. ET Nov. 22 at Golden 1 Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W.’
The matchup between Sacramento and the Utah Jazz this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Sacramento falling 123-105 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. Center Richaun Holmes put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 22 points in addition to seven boards.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia came up short against the Portland Trail Blazers this past Saturday, falling 118-111. Shooting guard Seth Curry wasn’t much of a difference maker for Philadelphia; Curry finished with ten points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 32 minutes on the court.
The Kings are the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past three games, so buyers beware.
Sacramento found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 129-105 punch to the gut against the 76ers when the two teams previously met in March. Maybe Sacramento will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
