De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings take on the Portland Trail Blazers in an NBA Cup showdown.
This season the NBA Cup has not been kind to the Sacramento Kings (9-10) who are looking for their first win in group play. Sacramento lost its first two games and hit the road to try and salvage this season’s tournament against the Portland Trail Blazers (7-12). With back-to-back wins Sacramento has an outside shot at qualifying for the quarterfinals. De’Aaron Fox and Sacramento have a win earlier in the season against Portland. In that win Sacramento crushed Portland at home 111-98, which could be the key to keeping its hopes in the NBA Cup alive where point differential is an important tiebreaker. Heading into this game Sacramento has a negative 16 point differential, last in West Group A, but only 11 away from second place.
