Quick Game Preview

The Phoenix Suns enter tonight's game having lost their last five-of-six and are in desperate search of a win. The Sacramento Kings - having lost their last two - would also love to get back in the win column.

Sacramento (43-29) is in sole possession of the No. 3 seed in the West and are five games ahead of Phoenix (38-34), who are at the No. 4 spot.

When talking offense in the NBA, the discussion normally features a Kings offense that averages a league best 120.9 points per night. They're also second in field goal percentage at 49.7%.

Phoenix's fourth-best defense (111.8 points per game allowed) will try to slow them down.

Sacramento's attack is led by De'Aaron Fox, one of the best clutch time scorers in all of the league. He averages 25.4 PPG.

However, the Kings ride the success of Domantas Sabonis, who averages a cool 19/12.5/7.3 stat line. His 12.5 rebounds per night lead the entire league and has led Sacramento in boards the last 28 consecutive games.

He might be in line for another strong night with Deandre Ayton out of action with a foot injury.

In Kevin Durant's absence, Devin Booker has (unsurprisingly) picked up the scoring for Phoenix. He's scored at least 30 points in their last six road games.

Chris Paul is fifth in the league with 9.1 assists per night.
