Game Preview
The Kings are in the 15-14 range, against Western Conference opponents 20-19. Sacramento has scored 6-4 in the last 10 games, averaging 118.9 points, 47.3 rebounds, 26.9 assists, 7.2 steals and 4.8 blocks per game while shooting 49.1% from the floor.
Sacramento scored a second straight double-digit victory on Wednesday, while crossing Utah Jazz 118-101 with the seven Kings scoring in double-digit numbers.
Without De’aaron Fox, the Kings were still adapting to life, and he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs before the NBA trade deadline. Zach Lavine (22.9 points per game), DeRozan (22.0) and Sabonis (19.9) led Sacramento to score while Domantas Sabonis had rebounds (14.4) and assists (6.3).
Meanwhile, the Rockets were 20-9 in their home games and 7-5 in the game 22-14. Houston has been 5-5 in its last 10 games, averaging 108.1 points, 49.1 rebounds, 23.4 assists, 6.3 steals and 5.2 blocks per game, while shooting 43.6% from the field.
Veteran defender Fred Vanvleet is expected to return from a long injury absence against Sacramento on Saturday. His return should help Houston keep its three-game winning streak intact.
Houston beat the Spurs 118-106 since the All-Star Game, a back-to-back second and a three-game ending Saturday.
According to ESPN’s basketball power index, the Rockets have a 67.6% chance of defeating Sacramento. The Kings have 8-3 in their last 11 games, while the Rockets have been 5-1 in their last six home games.
