It’s Monday, February 10, and the Sacramento Kings (26-26) and Dallas Mavericks (28-25) are all set to square off from American Airlines Center in Dallas.
This is a battle between the eighth and ninth place teams in the division. The Mavs are expected to take the court minus their prized acquisition, Anthony Davis (groin) but hope to build off their recent wins over Boston and Houston. Sacramento got a much-needed win Saturday against New Orleans, rallying from 20 down to knock off the Pelicans. Zion had 40 for New Orleans but Domantas Sabonis had 27 and Zach LaVine had 22 to pace the Kings’ attack.
The Kings are currently 12-13 on the road with a point differential of 1, while the Mavericks have a 5-5 record in their last ten games at home.
