With the Sacramento Kings hosting the reigning champions tonight, who are the three players from the purple and white that need to have a good game for Sacramento to win?

The Sacramento Kings will face off against the Golden State Warriors tonight in the Golden 1 Center. Right now the Kings are rolling as they have won two straight games, putting them at a record of 15-12 for the season.

The Golden State Warriors. Well, they have been pretty good too, even though they are underachieving to their standards. The defending champs are finally healthy and are currently sitting at the second seed in the Western Conference with a record of 19-10.

It is a rare sight to see when the Kings and Warriors face off against each other when both squads are good, so tonight’s game will be a treat for basketball fans who watch.

Obviously, it will be huge for the Kings if they were to come out of this match with the victory. Although the purple and white are still shocking the league, there is still the expectancy that they will start to fall off due to their losing past. But if Sacramento is able to stun Golden State in front of their home crowd, people might start to believe they are legit.

For the Kings, a good performance is going to be needed by everyone on their roster, but which players, in particular, must bring their A-game for them to win?

With that being said, enjoy this slideshow which will showcase three players that I believe need to have great outings in order for the Kings to defeat the Warriors.
