Last week, the Sacramento Kings dominated both the San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz, scoring at least 140 points in each game. Interestingly, these victories did not rely on one or two key players carrying the offensive load, as is often the case for Sacramento. However, in a tougher matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans (111-109), Sabonis and DeRozan combined for 61 points. Sabonis also added 20 rebounds.
Their three-game winning streak came to an end against Denver (129-130). The Kings led for most of the game, but the final moments turned into a back-and-forth battle, with the game-winning shot going to the Nuggets. Sabonis had another standout performance with 28 points and 14 rebounds. Most notably, he managed to contain Nikola Jokic, limiting him to just 20 points. For the upcoming game, Murray and Carter are confirmed to be out, while Huerter and Lyles remain questionable.
LeBron James has missed only two games this season. Without him, the team barely defeated the Portland Trail Blazers (107-98) and then struggled against Minnesota’s strong defense (87-97). However, the “King” returned in their most recent game and helped secure a win against the Memphis Grizzlies (116-110), one of the top teams in the Western Conference.
LeBron had fairly average stats in that game, while Anthony Davis solidified his position as the Lakers’ primary star, scoring 40 points and grabbing 16 rebounds. It’s worth noting that several players remain sidelined due to injuries, although none of them play significant roles in the team’s current lineup.
