Sacramento Kings vs Toronto Raptors preview

The Sacramento Kings are coming off an overtime win over the Memphis Grizzlies at the Golden 1 Center. The Kings will look to start a winning streak to stave off the Dallas Mavericks who are right behind them in the Western Conference.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors are on a seven-game losing streak and have only one win in their last 10 games. The Raptors have already given up on the season after starting their rebuilding project.

The injury to Scottie Barnes didn't help their prospects of getting some quality wins with their new roster.
