Preview: Kings (24-33) vs Nuggets (25-31)

The Sacramento Kings begin their first of a five-game homestand against the Denver Nuggets.

The Kings get ready to start the second half of the season with a new look. Following a major trade Monday, Sacramento now is in the process of welcoming three new players into their system. All eyes will be on Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway and Tyreke Evans as they suit up for the Kings for the very first time tonight.

In their previous matchup before the All-Star break, the Nuggets struggled across the board squaring off against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Unable to find their pace, they fell 122-99 to the Timberwolves. This back and forth inconsistency has been a trend in most recent games, with the Nuggets losing three of their last five.

Key Matchup

Willie Cauley-Stein has been adjusting well to his new-found presence in the Kings rotation. Matching up against the Nuggets talented young big man Nikola Jokic, he will look to capitalize against the Kings new lineup.

Did You Know?

Evans spent the first four seasons of his career with the Kings wearing the No. 13. This time around, he has chosen the No. 32 in honor of former teammate and King Francisco Garcia.
