Phoenix @ Sacramento

Current Records: Phoenix 38-34; Sacramento 43-29

What to Know

This Friday, the Sacramento Kings are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 118.5 points per matchup. They will take on the Phoenix Suns at 10 p.m. ET Friday at Golden 1 Center after having had a few days off. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Sacramento has to be hurting after a devastating 132-109 loss at the hands of the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. Sacramento's defeat came about despite a quality game from center Domantas Sabonis, who posted a triple-double on 16 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 dimes.

Meanwhile, Phoenix lost to the Los Angeles Lakers on the road by a decisive 122-111 margin. The losing side was boosted by shooting guard Devin Booker, who had 33 points and five assists along with six boards.

The Kings are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. Now might not be the best time to take Sacramento against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

Sacramento is now 43-29 while Phoenix sits at 38-34. Sacramento is 17-11 after losses this season, the Suns 16-17.
