It has been a terrible stretch for the Sacramento Kings as they will look to end their losing streak on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Sacramento enters Monday's matchup amid a four-game losing streak and they will now have a tough matchup against Memphis, who currently sits fourth in the Western Conference standings.
Despite that, the Grizzlies have also struggled recently as they have won only five of their last 10 games and they will also be without one of their star players on Monday.
Memphis has ruled out their star guard Ja Morant for Monday's game against Sacramento due to a shoulder and hamstring injury. Morant missed Saturday's game due to a should injury and he recently suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out Monday.
Somewhat new injury report for the Grizzlies for tomorrow's game against the Kings:
Ja Morant is OUT, but this time it's with left hamstring soreness. That's new.
Santi Aldama upgraded to doubtful after missing the last five games with a calf strain.

The Grizzlies have also ruled out Zyon Pullin due to a knee injury and Santi Aldama is listed as doubtful due to a calf injury.
Memphis has also listed Scotty Pippen Jr. as questionable with a wrist injury and if he is unable to play, the Grizzlies' backcourt will be extremely shorthanded.
On the other side, the Kings enter Monday's game almost fully healthy as they look to end their losing skid against a shorthanded Grizzlies squad.
Trey Lyles is the only player listed on Sacramento's injury report as he has been listed as questionable due to a back injury.
Of course, it is a great sign for the Kings that Domantas Sabonis is officially off the injury report after returning from a hamstring injury on Friday against the Phoenix Suns.
Sabonis did leave Friday's game with a little less than seven minutes left in the fourth quarter after appearing to aggravate a left hamstring strain, but he is off the injury report completely for Monday's matchup.
With the Kings entering as the much healthier team, they will look to get back into the win column against the shorthanded Grizzlies.
Fans can catch Monday's matchup between the Grizzlies and Kings at 10:00 p.m. EST.
