The Sacramento Kings will play their fourth preseason game on Monday evening as they travel to Salt Lake City to take on the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz are winless against fellow NBA teams in the preseason, their only victory coming over the Australian club team Adelaide 36ers. Utah lost their next two games to the Bucks and Pelicans, squandering an 11-point fourth-quarter lead to New Orleans and losing by a single point.

The Kings are coming off of their most impressive game of the preseason after defeating the Phoenix Suns 105-88 at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. It was a needed victory for the Kings who had dropped their first two exhibition games to the Pacers in the India Games.

Matchup To Watch:

The Jazz have a new floor general in the newly signed Mike Conley, whose veteran presence and underrated play could propel the Jazz in to the top-4 in the Western Conference this season. Watch for his matchup against De’Aaron Fox.

Fox is looking to take the next step in to the rarified air of elite point guards, and getting the best of Conley would be one of the stepping stones in doing so. The Jazz have one of the many dynamic backcourt duos in the Western Conference, so watch for Buddy Hield’s matchup with Donavan Mitchell as well.

Prediction:

The Sacramento Kings will be thin when their starters hit the bench, which could hinder their scoring output.

Jazz win, 104-96
