The Sacramento Kings come into this game having won three of their first four games of the season, including a 125-115 win over the Denver Nuggets. In the win over Denver, De’Aaron Fox had 24 points and he dished out nine assists. Richaun Holmes added 20 points while Marvin Bagley III chipped in 18 points. As a team, they are putting up 113.8 points and are shooting 46.4 percent from the field and 32.3 from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 114.0 points a game. The offense is led by Fox with 20.3 points a game and he dishes out 6.8 assists. They are well balanced on offense with six players scoring at least 10.5 points a game.

The Houston Rockets have struggled to start the season and come into this game having lost two in a row. They are coming off a 124-111 loss on the road to Denver on Monday. In the loss, James Harden put up 34 points, to go with six rebounds and eight assists in the loss. Christian Wood added 23 while David Nwaba chipped in 14 points. The offense is led by Harden with 39 points a game ad Wood with 27. This team has been plagued by injuries and is not at full strength. John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins are listed as questionable. Kenyon Martin, Jr., and four other players are also out or listed as questionable. As a team, they are putting up 118.5 points a game and are shooting 48.6 percent from the field and 36.5 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up a league-worst 126 points a game.

Houston has been reduced to a two-man team until they can get their full roster together. They have been able to put the ball in the basket but have been unable to stop anybody and that won't improve until at least Wall and Cousins can come back and contribute. The Kings are well balanced and anyone that is on the score has the ability to score. I am looking for the Kings to keep this game close if not win outright.

Play on Sacramento.
