The Sacramento Kings host the Utah Jazz on Sunday.
140-113. Their 140 points is a season-high, as they made 47.1 percent of their three-point attempts. This hot night was exactly what the Kings needed after losing seven of their previous nine games.on Sunday. These two Western Conference teams have already faced twice this season, as the Kings have won both times. In their last meeting, Kings star point guard De'Aaron Fox exploded for 49 points while co-stars Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan were sidelined.
The Jazz have won just five of their first 22 games of the season, seemingly more worried about what their draft pick will be than any type of playoff contention. The Kings are certainly expected to sweep the season series and build their first win streak in over a month, but the Jazz are still a dangerous team when they are clicking.If the Jazz have to play without star forward Lauri Markkanen, hypothetically, it would make things a lot easier for Sacramento.
With star sixth man Jordan Clarkson already ruled out for the Jazz, it certainly weakens their second unit, evening the field against a very weak Kings bench. Fans will enjoy this game much more if Markkanen is clear to play, but either way, the Kings should be able to defend their home court and pick up their second straight win.
