Keegan Murray scored a season-high 26 points and Zach LaVine added 22 to lift the hot-shooting Sacramento Kings to a 118-101 win over the Utah Jazz.
The Kings do have a little momentum and will look to ride that into their game against the Rockets in Houston on Saturday. After getting drubbed by the Golden State Warriors 132-108 a week ago, the Kings have won their last two games by an average of 29.5 points, albeit to weaker opponents, the Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz.
With that in mind, the matchup of the game becomes a battle of the benches. It's not necessarily that the Kings bench needs to outscore the Jazz's bench, but they should at least
The Kings scored 50 points in the paint, knocked down 15 3-pointers (on 36 attempts), and shot 17-of-31 in the mid-range. Sacramento finished the game with seven players in double-figures and added 11 points from the free-throw line.
Target the spread for the Utah Jazz for tonight's pick and prediction in their matchup against the Sacramento Kings.
