Kings vs Mavericks Preview: A Wild, Wild Worst Shootout

The Kings are spending their weekend exploring the polar extremes of the NBA: Friday night’s contest was a scrappy loss at the hands of the best team in the league which, of course, inevitably means that Saturday’s game against the fellow cellar trolls from Dallas should end in disaster for Sacramento. Dallas has the perfect pedigree to ruin your Saturday night experience in Sacramento: A well-past-his-prime star in need of one final supernova performance, a fiery rookie point guard wanting to prove he should have gone higher in the draft, a group of scrappy never-beens clinging to their NBA careers and they’re all tied together by Rick Carlisle, one of the best coaches in the NBA.
