The Kings hosted the Suns for a back-to-back in Sacramento in the second and third games of the season, splitting the two matchups as each team emerged with a 2-1 record.
Four months later, let’s just say the two teams no longer have the same record.
The Suns are no. 2 in the West with the second-best point differential in the league while the Kings have fallen five games out of the play-in with their recent eight-game losing streak. They’re also down two starters and will be subbing in Damian Jones, who started his season in Phoenix, in place of fellow former Sun Richaun Holmes at center.
