Sacramento Kings vs Philadelphia 76ers preview

The Kings have been surging under head coach Doug Christie, winning 11 of their last 14 games. However, despite their recent success, reports have surfaced that star guard De’Aaron Fox is seeking a change of scenery and is eyeing a move to San Antonio to join Victor Wembanyama.

Sacramento boasts the league’s ninth-ranked offense and seventh-ranked defense over its last 14 games, positioning them with the fourth-best net rating — trailing only the OKC Thunder, Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets. Fox leads the team in scoring with 25.2 points per game, along with 6.2 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers are inching closer to the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference, now just one game behind the Chicago Bulls. Their three-game winning streak has been impressive, featuring victories over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers.

Despite a string of injuries to key players, they’ve managed to stay competitive, with Tyrese Maxey stepping up in their win over the Lakers, dropping 43 points while both Paul George and Joel Embiid were sidelined. This veteran-laden squad is proving they won’t be an easy team to defeat.
