What you need to know about the Kings
The stars were brightly shining for Sacramento in a 134-120 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Sacramento relied on the efforts of shooting guard Kevin Huerter, who had 26 points along with five rebounds, and center Domantas Sabonis, who posted a triple-double on 13 points, 21 rebounds and 12 assists.
Over his last four games, Sabonis is averaging 21.3 points, 19.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game, and the Wizards might not have a frontcourt answer for the two-time All-Star with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out. Expect another heavy dose of Sabonis on Friday as he's playing his best basketball of the season.
What you need to know about the Wizards
Meanwhile, Washington came up short against the Utah Jazz on Thursday, falling 120-112. A silver lining for Washington was the play of shooting guard Bradley Beal, who had 30 points and five assists in addition to five rebounds. Kyle Kuzma also had 21 points in the loss, and both of those players were critical in Washington's win over Phoenix on Tuesday.
Kuzma had 29 points, six rebounds and six assists while Beal scored 25 of his 27 points in the second half on the way to a 113-110 win on the road. Without Porzingis, those two players will have to continue carrying a heavier-than-normal scoring load, but they've acquitted themselves well during the packed portion of the schedule.
