The Sacramento Kings and LA Clippers will lock horns with each other for a 2021-22 NBA season game at Crypto.com Arena on Saturday.

The Kings are coming off a 109-123 against the New Orleans Pelicans. Damian Jones was the only player to find some momentum offensively for Sacramento. He scored 22 points on eight of 10 shooting. But the rest of the group struggled, and it was always going to be tough for the Kings to record a win.

Meanwhile, the Clippers are on a three-game winning streak. They defeated the Phoenix Suns 113-109 in their previous outing. Norman Powell recorded one of his most efficient performances of the season. He bagged 24 points on six of 10 shooting from the floor coming off the bench. Six other players scored 10 or more points to round off a brilliant team effort.
