Teams in the NBA might start to view the Sacramento Kings as a tune-up on the schedule, but that attitude could lead to an upset against the San Antonio Spurs. Eventually teams begin to get desperate for wins and come out playing twice as hard, and consider how the Kings have lost five in a row.
The Spurs, however, were last humbled by Stephen Curry’s wizardry in Friday and Wednesday’s losses to the Golden State Warriors. They are trying to avoid three straight defeats for the first time this season.
Additionally, the Spurs are 5-2 at home this year. They post a nearly identical defensive rating at home and away. Yet, notably, they take four more 3-pointers at from Frost Bank Center and their long-range accuracy is 6.7 percent higher than it is on the road. (38.5). Here is what you need to know about the matchup:
San Antonio Spurs (8-4) v. Sacramento Kings (3-10)
Injury report not yet submitted for both teams.
