The Sacramento Kings will have themselves a challenge tonight as they will host the Toronto Raptors in the Golden 1 Center. Which three players will be key for deciding the victor for tonight’s contest?

After enduring their four-game road trip, the Sacramento Kings are finally back in Sacramento where they will be playing in their lovely Golden 1 Center. Although the Kings are back at home, their return will not be very peachy as they will face off against the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors have been no joke this season. Led by Kawhi Leonard, the Raptors find themselves with a record of 10-1 and are once again a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference. Speaking of jokes, the Kings have been the opposite of one to begin the year as they hold a record of 6-4 and are currently in a position to qualify for the postseason. Who would have thought?

Both Toronto and Sacramento are off to great starts to their campaigns, so tonight’s contest will be an entertaining one for the Golden 1 fans to witness. Of course, however, what will make tonight’s game great is if the purple and white can leave with a victory. A statement win against a team like Toronto could convince the rest of the NBA that the Kings are legit and are definitely not an easy win this season.

So with that being said, how can the Kings be victorious in this game? In my opinion, there are three players that need to stand out for the purple and white in order for the team to be successful.

Let us dive into those players!
