The Sacramento Kings will end their preseason campaign tonight as they face off against the Portland Trail Blazers.
One more game left, Kings fans. That is until the regular season starts for your team and their games will count towards their 2018-2019 season record. But until then, the purple and white will go through 48 more minutes of basketball tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers.
This game does not matter for both teams as this is a preseason contest. But with that said, here are some things to look out for tonight if one is a Sacramento Kings fan.
Why It Is Worth Watching?
Just yesterday, the Kings got destroyed by the Utah Jazz by a score of 132-93. The performance by Sacramento was embarrassing, to say the least. No one on the team could buy a bucket and their defense was even worse for the eyes. So the fact that the Kings got owned on their home court should give them a spark of energy tonight. Expect the purple and white to enter tonight’s game with more fire and urgency in their play.
Another reason to keep in tune with this game is to see more of how the Kings’ young talent is developing. Players like De’Aaron Fox, Harry Giles, and Marvin Bagley III have shown flashes of their potential this preseason, and it will be fun to see if they continue to make strides tonight.
Conclusion
Tonight will be the last time the Kings hit the court before playing in their season opener against the Jazz. This game is not a must watch by any means, but it can be a fun game to witness if you are a fan of the Kings. Especially if you want to vehemently follow the development of the team’s young core.
