The Sacramento Kings continued a four-game road trip on Monday with another matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. Sacramento could win the season series with another victory versus the Kyrie Irving-led team. The Kings headed into the game without the injured Domantas Sabonis.
Sacramento led 27-24 after one quarter. DeMar DeRozan, Keegan Murray and Zach LaVine carried the team to an early advantage. The Kings shot 3-for-9 from deep, a key reason they took the driver’s seat against Dallas, which went 0-for-3 from the same range. Sacramento held Irving to seven points in the first 12 minutes.
The visitors continued to roll in the second quarter. Jonas Valanciunas helped DeRozan, Murray and LaVine push the Kings to a 60-50 lead at halftime.

The Mavericks got a boost off the bench from Kai Jones, who delivered 13 points, four rebounds and one block. Max Christie, another member of the bench mob, gave his team a lift with seven points, four rebounds and three assists.
