First home game against a bitter rival? Check. LeBron James’ first trip to Sacramento as a Laker? Check. De’Aaron Fox versus Lonzo Ball? check. (Assuming Lonzo plays). There are storylines galore in what will be the newest iteration of the “rivalry” that hasn’t been much of a rivalry over the past decade. Regardless, this game will be must Watch T.V. for Sacramento Kings fans this season.

Fortunately for Kings fans, the first regular season matchup between these two teams will be a home game for Sacramento, something that will no doubt add to an already electric environment inside the Golden 1 Arena.
