The Sacramento Kings got a major shot in the arm with some of the moves they made at the trade deadline, and they have to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to sneak into a play-in game. The Brooklyn Nets have lost 11 straight games, they’re losing their last five games by an average of 16.6 points, and they’ll be without Kyrie here as well. The Nets are falling apart quickly. Give me the Kings and small chalk.
