Kings Look To Beat Jazz For First Time Since 2016

By Franklin Cartoscelli – Sports 1140 KHTK

Coming off of what is arguably their best win of the young season, the Sacramento Kings head to Utah tonight to face Donovan Mitchell and the slumping Jazz.

Sacramento is looking to defeat Utah for the first time since December of 2016.

The Jazz, who made it to the Western Conference semifinals last season, have lost three of their past four games as they sit at 8-9.

Last year’s top rookie Donovan Mitchell is struggling from the field in his sophomore season, shooting 41% from the field and only 29% from the three point line.

Mitchell is always an offensive threat, and will look to bounce back when he faces the Kings, a team he averaged 29.6 points per game against last season.

Buddy Hield will look to continue his great play, coming off a clutch performance on Monday against Oklahoma City.

Hield took over in the fourth, scoring 11 points in the last four minutes of the game on his way to a 25 point performance. Buddy hit three-three pointers in a row to propel Sacramento to a 107-98 lead with 3:16 remaining.

De’Aaron Fox will look to get his offense back on track after a 1-for-10 shooting performance against the Thunder.

Although his shot was off, Fox paced the Kings offense and had 13 assists, including an amazing dish to Marvin Bagley III in crunch time.
