Keegan. Murray. Finally, the Kings are giving fans something worth watching. Sacramento has won two-straight games against strong Western Conference teams (Nuggets, Timberwolves) and it hasn’t been on the back of veteran players. It’s because of Keegan Murray.
OK, I’m exaggerating here. But Keegan Murray is playing an aggressive style of basketball unlike anything we’ve see out of him before, and it’s compelling. In fact, it’s the most compelling the Kings have been all year. It has certainly rejuvenated my interest in watching this team play. I don’t expect that excitement to last very long, so I’ll take it while it’s here.
Who: Sacramento Kings (5-13) vs. Phoenix Suns (11-7)
Where: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, CA
When: 7:00 PM PT / 10:00 PM ET
Watch: NBCSCA / League Pass
The Suns are one of the more surprisingly successful teams in the young 2025-26 NBA season. They are currently 6th in the Western Conference, ahead of teams like the Timberwolves and Warriors. They’ll be without Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn, and Jalen Green tonight. For the Kings, Domantas Sabonis is still out, and Dennis Schroder is questionable.
The Suns defeated the Kings in the season opener back in October, so the Kings will have a chance for a little revenge tonight. It’s also an NBA Cup matchup, however the Kings are already 0-2 in NBA Cup play, so, you know. Whatever.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for all the other sickos still watching this thing.
Prediction: Kings 117, Suns 110.
