what to know
This Thursday, the Sacramento Kings hope to plug the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 118.5 points per game. They may have tired legs after a matchup yesterday when they head out on the road against the Brooklyn Nets at 7:30 pm ET on March 16 at Barclays Center. If the contest is anything like Sacramento’s 153-121 victory from their previous meeting in November of last year, the scorer is going to be kept very busy.
The Kings edged the Chicago Bulls 117-114 on Wednesday thanks to a jumper by point guard De’Aaron Fox as the clock expired. Having predicted a close win for Sacramento, the bettors hit the nail on the head. Su Fox did his thing and scored 32 points.
Meanwhile, the game between Brooklyn and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday wasn’t a total blowout, but with Brooklyn going down 121-107 on the road, it came very close to becoming one. The losing side was buoyed by forward Mikal Bridges who had 34 points along with four blocks.
Sacramento is now 41-27 while the Nets are 39-30. The Kings are 24-16 after wins this year, and Brooklyn is 16-13 after losses.
