The Win Meter favors the Kings at home against the Nets on Thursday, December 31, at about 70%. That is a real edge, but the Nets are far from out of it.
How the Win Meter reads
The Win Meter reads the Kings 70%, with a projected score of Brooklyn Nets 111, Sacramento Kings 116. The rating gap is 46 points in favor of the Kings, and home court and rest add about 100 rating points for the Kings on top of that.
A reading this high has real meaning, but upsets of this size happen. Nearly one game in 3 like it goes the other way.
