Game Preview
On January 18, the Sacramento Kings (23-17) and Indiana Pacers (23-17) square off at Golden 1 Center.
Although they had defeated the Hawks, the Indiana Pacers have lately suffered defeats to the Nuggets and Jazz. In terms of shooting percentage, the Indiana Pacers average 125.6 points on 50.8% and giving up 123.5 points on 50.2%. In comparison, Myles Turner averages 17.2 points and 7.3 rebounds, while Tyrese Haliburton averages 23.6 points and 4.2 rebounds. The 3rd player to score in double figures is Bennedict Mathurin, while Buddy Hield is pulling down 3.2 rebounds. The Indiana Pacers are making 38.1% of their shots from outside the arc and 79.7% when they are clear of the basket. They are pulling down 40.8 rebounds per game while giving up 38% shooting from beyond the arc. In addition, they signed All-Star Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors; nevertheless, it is unlikely that he will play in this game.
The Kings’ recent bad run got even worse in their last game following their 3rd consecutive defeat. With a final score of 119-117, they were unable to overcome the Phoenix Suns. Despite leading 22 points with 8:22 remaining in the 4th quarter, the Kings ultimately lost because of 8 turnovers in the final quarter. The performances of De’Aaron Fox, who shot 6 for 10 from outside the arc while contributing 33 points and 6 assists, and Sabonis, who recorded a triple-double with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists, shouldn’t be overshadowed by the Kings’ defeat. Nevertheless, the Kings allowed the lowest defensive rebound % in the NBA, therefore it was surprising that Sacramento was outrebounded 46–31 in the loss. In contrast, the Kings have split their last ten games. They were 2-3 on their 5-game road trip and are 13-7 at home.
