The Sacramento Kings will host the Chicago Bulls on Thursday at the Golden 1 Center as they look to extend their winning streak.
Sacramento is coming off an impressive victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday that marked their second consecutive victory and they will look to extend their winning streak to three games on Thursday against Chicago on the second night of a back-to-back.
The Bulls enter Thursday's contest having won six of their last 10 games but they did fall to the Phoenix Suns on the road on Wednesday.
Of course, Thursday's game will also mark the first time Zach LaVine will face off against his old team since he was traded to the Kings from the Bulls as part of the three-team trade that sent De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs at the trade deadline.
Of course, LaVine missed Wednesday night's victory over Cleveland but he is off the injury report for Thursday's game as he will face off against his old team.
The Kings have ruled out Domantas Sabonis who is set to miss up to 10 days with an ankle sprain and Jake LaRavia is currently listed as questionable with an illness that kept him out of Wednesday's victory.
With Sabonis out, expect Jonas Valanciunas to continue to start in his place at center for the Kings.
On the other side, the Bulls will also be without two of their key players in Thursday's matchup.
Chicago has ruled out Ayo Dosunmu who is set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery in early March.
Lonzo Ball has also been ruled out due to a wrist injury that has sidelined him for Chicago's last nine games.
Fans can catch Thursday's matchup between the Bulls and Kings from Sacramento at 10:00 p.m. EST on NBA TV.
