The team from California has been doing a little better this season so far, winning half of its six matches. All three defeats were against the higher-ranking teams in the table. The Kings have not yet lost to outsiders. The seventh place in the conference looks unreliable, since three more teams have similar results, so you need to win in this match. The injured Jeffries and Haliburton are obviously a problem for Sacramento, but the Bulls have a tough lineup.
Detroit has many experienced players in its roster, which has been joined by the natural-born leader Hayes, who will clearly add level to the team, although he needs time to adapt and without him there is no one in this team to solve serious problems. The team will not take first places, but the Pistons will surely try to make some noise in this rally. While the team’s play does not inspire optimism among the fans, with one victory in the asset, Detroit is in last place in the Eastern Conference.
