Who plays

Sacramento @ Portland

Current records: Sacramento 16-25; Portland 14-24

What there is to know

The Sacramento Kings are back on the road on Sunday and will play against the Portland Trail Blazers at 9 p.m. ET on January 9 at the Moda Center in the Rose Quarter. If the game looks like the Kings’ 125-121 victory in their previous meeting in November of last year, the scorer will be very busy.

Sacramento failed against the Denver Nuggets last Friday, losing 121-111. A silver lining for Sacramento was the play of point guard De’Aaron Fox, who had 30 points and five assists as well as seven boards. Fox’s night made it three straight games in which he scored at least 30 points.

Meanwhile, Portland lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers at home by a decisive 114-101 margin. Rip City’s top scorers were small forward Norman Powell (19 points) and power forward Robert Covington (17 points).

Barring any buzzer beaters, Sacramento is set to win a close contest. Those who stay with them ATS have guts, to put it politely, as the team have let punters down in their last three games.

The losses put Sacramento at 16-25 and Rip City at 14-24. A few defensive numbers to keep in mind before kick-off: The Kings are third-worst in the league in points against per game, averaging 113.9. Rip City had their own struggles as they allowed their opponents to shoot an average of 47.90% from the ground, which is the highest allowed percentage of shooting in the league. It’s possible that one of those Achilles heels will end up tripping the losing team.
