The Sacramento Kings will play against the Utah Jazz tonight for the third time already in the early season. Which three players for Sacramento need to have a good game for the team to be successful?

The Sacramento Kings are only 19 games into their 2018-2019 campaign, and yet, they will be preparing for their third matchup against the Utah Jazz tonight in the Golden 1 Center. Both these clubs are certainly familiar with each other. Their first meeting was in the season opener where the Jazz were able to earn a close victory by a score of 123-117.

Just recently, the two teams had their second contest of the year. This time though it was Utah’s turn to host as the game was held in the Vivint Smart Home Arena. Even though the Jazz were hosting the game, it did not faze the Kings as they were able to avenge themselves from the opener, winning the game 119-110. Both teams have a game this season, so whoever wins tonight’s contest will have the serie’s lead until these teams will meet for a final time in April.

Obviously, a win for the Kings would be vital. They currently hold a record of 10-9 and are currently in the eighth seed in the Western Conference, so earning another win against a team who will likely be in the playoff picture once April comes around would be huge.

In my opinion, three players for the Kings need to have a great night in order for the home team to leave with the victory. So with that being said, let us jump into the slideshow to see who those three players are.
