How to watch Lakers vs Kings today: Time, TV channel

The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Sacramento Kings on Sunday evening, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers seemed to be in danger of dropping to a 0-2 record in the first quarter of their game on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves when they fell behind by 11 points. But they fought back thanks to the hot shooting of Luka Doncic, who scored 49 points and also contributed 11 rebounds and eight assists. Austin Reaves had 25 points and 11 assists, and the Lakers held Minnesota to 42.1% field-goal shooting in the second half to come away with a 128-110 victory.
Sacramento lost its first game of the season to the Phoenix Suns before scraping by the Utah Jazz, 105-104, on Friday. Guard Zach LaVine scored at least 30 points in both games, and the team has other potent threats in DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis and former Laker Malik Monk.
