Orlando Magic vs. Sacramento Kings preview
The Orlando Magic and Sacramento Kings are set for a Saturday night showdown at the Kia Center, with both teams looking to gain ground in their respective playoff races.
Sacramento's coming off a much-needed win against Portland, snapping a four-game skid, but their recent form's been shaky with eight losses in their last 11.
Orlando, on the other hand, had been on a roll before stumbling against Dallas, ending a three-game win streak.
Keep an eye on Paolo Banchero, who's been on fire for the Magic, dropping 35 points in their last game and looking unstoppable at times.
For the Kings, the trio of Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis, and DeMar DeRozan could be the key to victory – they combined for 72 points in their last outing.
Interestingly, when these teams met back in February, Orlando dominated with a 130-111 win, so Sacramento's got some payback on their minds.
With both teams missing key players – Jake LaRavia for the Kings and Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs for the Magic – depth could play a crucial role in this matchup.
It's anyone's game, but home court advantage might just tip the scales in Orlando's favor in what promises to be a closely fought battle.
