Friday night’s game between the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers features two teams that are headed in opposite directions.
After enduring a season full of struggles and injuries, the new-look Lakers come into the contest with the second-best record in the NBA. Their only losses have come against the defending champion Toronto Raptors and revamped Clippers on opening night. The Lakers are a little banged up, but their two superstars should be a full-go for Friday’s game.
The Kings have won 4 out of their last 5 games and find themselves just a couple of games out of the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
