The Sacramento Kings are in Atlanta tonight to play one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Let’s get to it.
Who: Sacramento Kings (19-55) vs. Atlanta Hawks (41-44)
Where: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA
When: 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET
Watch: NBCSCA / League Pass
The aforementioned Atlanta Hawks have won 14 of their last 16 games. SURELY they will be good enough to keep the Kings’ tank intact, right? If anything is working against the Hawks tonight, it’s this; they lost in Boston to the Celtics yesterday, so they’ll be playing the Kings on the 2nd night of a back-to-back.
The Kings have not submitted their injury report for today quite yet, but we know it’s lengthy. They had to bring DaQuan Jeffries back on a 10-day hardship contract give the roster a little more depth. Jeffries played 7 minutes in the loss to Orlando on Thursday and scored two points to go along with four fouls.
Prediction: Kings 120, Hawks 118.
