The Sacramento Kings will be on a high after a tremendous 130-88 win over the Charlotte Hornets that saw Zach LaVine finish with 42 points. The Northern California team has won four of their last six games, which includes a notable overtime victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

Overall, the Kings sit in 10th position in the West with a 29-28 record. They have won five of their last 10 games and have a 14-14 record on the road.

A potent offense has been the driving force behind the Kings success this season, with the team averaging 116.9 points per game.

De'Aaron Fox was the team's leading scorer, but after he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs, the responsibility will fall on DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis to steer the offense. DeRozan is averaging 22.1 points and 3.8 assists per game. Sabonis has contributed with 20.0 points, 14.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.

The Utah Jazz will be hoping a boisterous home crowd can lead them to just their fourth victory of the month. It has been a tough year for the Jazz, who currently sit bottom of the Western Conference standings with a 14-42 record.

Utah has won three of their last 10 games, and have struggled at home with a dismal 7-21 record at the Delta Center.

The defense has been a major problem area for the Jazz, with the team allowing 119.4 ppg to opponents.

Injuries will also be a major concern for the Jazz going into Wednesday's game, with John Collins, Lauri Markkanen and Collin Sexton all sidelined.

Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz have already met three times his season, with the Kings winning all three of the previous encounters.

Zach LaVine is coming off an eye-catching performance against the Hornets, recording 42 points and shooting an impressive 16-of-19 from the field. The former Chicago Bulls player seems to be fitting in well with his new teammmates, averaging 27.5 ppg over his last four outings. LaVine's point total is set at 23.5, and he should be able to go over that figure.

With a handful of injuries, the Jazz will turn to Keyonte George to once again lead their offense. George has led the team in scoring over the last two games, finishing with 30 and 21 points. His points total is set at 20.5, and the talented guard should go over that number.
