Raptors vs. Kings preview

The Raptors face the middle game of their five-game road trip as they take on the Kings, who present a potential trap game. The Kings are 12-32 so far this season, but four of those wins came between Jan. 11-16. They've lost their last two games at home against the Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat. But they have proven that they can play competitive basketball. In recent weeks.

This game is the final one of a seven-game homestand, so the Kings haven't had to travel for a while. Luckily for the Raptors, the Kings are also on the second night of a back-to-back. So they are likely going to have the same tired legs that Sacramento does. The only difference is that the Raptors are coming off of a 145-point victory while the Kings gave up 130 points in their loss to Miami.

The Raptors just have to continue riding the wave that they built last night in Golden State. If they can do that, they should be well on their way to a second straight victory as the road trip continues to Portland at the end of the week.
