**Update: 10:30 p.m.**
The Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns played a basketball game Tuesday night. The Suns won 114-103. The Sun hit 19 threes to the Kings 7. Phoenix also had 32 fast break points to Sacramento’s 19.

**From Earlier Preview:**
The Sacramento Kings are back in action tonight: an ungodly 11PM ET tipoff vs the Suns.
**Who**: Sacramento Kings (14-48) vs. Phoenix Suns (34-26)
**Where**: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, CA
**When**: 8:00 PM PT / 11:00 PM ET
**Watch**: Peacock!
Peacock won’t be getting their money’s worth with this one, but basketball must be played. The Phoenix Suns are one of the NBA’s most surprising success stories this season (although they haven’t been playing their best recently), and I expect them to roll over the Kings tonight despite the fact that they will be without DeMar DeRozan’s biggest hater, Dillon Brooks.
Brooks and DeRozan have been going at it for years, and at this stage of the season, I’m searching for any subplot to make watching these games slightly more interesting. Books vs. DeRozan and a potential fight breaking out is all I had tonight. Sorry to disappoint.
**Prediction**: Kings 116, Suns 99
