Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings haven’t been at their best as they’ve lost six of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping for a better performance after getting thrashed by the Nuggets in a 117-96 road loss on Wednesday. Keegan Murray led the team in scoring with 21 points on nine of 17 shooting, Chris Duarte added 18 points off the bench while Domantas Sabonis tallied 13 points with 10 rebounds and seven assists. As a team, the Kings shot just 40 percent from the field and 12 of 35 from the 3-point line as they poured in 35 points in the first quarter to take an early 15-point lead, only to get completely outplayed the rest of the way to trail by as many as 32 points at one stage. The Kings will take on the Bulls after this one.
