Sacramento Kings vs. Utah Jazz Preview
The Sacramento Kings (29-28) and Utah Jazz (14-43) are all set to square off from Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
The Kings are still trying to build chemistry from the trade that saw De’Aaron Fox shipped away to San Antonio, and Zach Lavine is now dawning the purple and black.
The Jazz have also had continuity issues. For them, it’s been the injury bug that has bitten them. Star forward Lauri Markkanen has missed some time dealing with injury, but so have a good number of the other starters.
The Kings are currently 14-14 on the road with a point differential of 1, while the Jazz have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home.
