Teams Preview

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings currently stand at 10th place in the Western Conference with a 35-36 win-loss record, and they enter this contest against the number one seed in the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder, on a three-game losing streak. 

The Kings first lost against the Bucks, Bulls, and Celtics in consecutive home games, which has significantly reduced their chances of making it to the top six in the West. Injuries to Domantas Sabonis and inconsistent performances from Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan have really affected the Kings.

Against the Celtics, the Kings were outplayed in all facets. They turned the ball over 14 times, committed four more fouls than their opponents, and allowed the Celtics to hit a total of 19 three-point shots, resulting in 57 points from long range, while Sacramento scored just 24 points from beyond the arc. 

In the last three games, the Kings have made fewer three-pointers than their opponents, and their shooting efficiency has also dropped to 35.2% from three-point range and 47.7% from the field, where they score 116.2 points per game while allowing 115.8 points per game.
