The Miami Heat head to Sacramento to take on the Kings in an East vs. West matchup featuring two struggling squads.
The Heat have lost three straight games, including Wednesday night's overtime loss to the Warriors.
Miami is still operating without guard Goran Dragic due to an ankle injury. The loss is apparent, as the Heat have been one of the worst offenses in the league as of late.
Over the last three games, the Heat have an offensive rating of 105.5, making them the 26th ranked offense in the league over this stretch per NBA Advanced Stats. Miami's inability to produce points has put a lot more stress on its usually solid defense.
The Sacramento Kings have lost four straight games, though two of those games were against some of the best teams in the league in the Sixers and Nets.
The Kings are still targeting a playoff spot and are only 2.5 games back from the No. 8 seed as of Thursday morning.
Miami's defense could prove to be a massive challenge for the Kings, who are without forwards Harrison Barnes and Richaun Holmes due to injury. When healthy, Barnes and Holmes combined to average 28.6 points per game (PPG) for Sacramento. This could make the under the correct play, an idea supported by our PRO Report.
