The Kings are riding high following a 125-124 overtime win against the Houston Rockets Sunday, and they’re back in action tonight.
Who: Sacramento Kings (7-22) vs. Detroit Pistons (23-6)
Where: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, CA
When: 7:00 PM PT / 10:00 PM ET
Watch: NBCSCA / League Pass
There hasn’t been a lot to celebrate for a Kings fan this holiday season, but watching Maxime Raynaud, Keegan Murray, and to a lesser extent, Nique Clifford, flourish in an overtime win against the Rockets is… something.
I will also say this: regardless of the result, I’ve had more fun watching this team since Raynaud entered the starting lineup, and the youth got more consistent playing time. That trend should continue tonight against the Pistons. Drew Eubanks is out. Zach LaVine is out. Domantas Sabonis is out. That means more Raynaud, more Clifford and (hopefully) Keon Ellis, and more Dylan Cardwell! Should out to Cardwell. Love his energy.
Happy holidays, and much love to the Kings Herald community. Go Kings.
Prediction: Kings 114, Pistons 105.
