Sacramento Kings Form

Sacramento wrap up this five-game road trip looking to bounce back from a couple of defeats.

The Kings ended 2023 on a high as they followed up a 117-110 win in Atlanta with a 123-92 victory at Memphis.

They failed to keep that run going as they lost their opening game of 2024, losing 111-104 at home to Charlotte, but they rebounded quickly to beat Orlando 138-135 in double overtime.

Sacramento then beat Toronto 135-130, only to lose 133-100 in New Orleans, but they again responded immediately to a defeat, winning 131-110 in Detroit and 123-98 at Charlotte.

The Kings have not won since however, losing 112-93 in Philadelphia before heading to Milwaukee for a 143-142 defeat.

Phoenix Suns Form

Phoenix return home looking to build on a couple of road wins that have appeared to get them back on track.

The Suns won their final three games of 2023, and started 2024 with a 109-88 victory when they hosted Portland.

Their form cooled off after that though, starting with a 131-122 defeat when they entertained the LA Clippers.

Phoenix responded with a 113-97 win over Miami, only to then lose 121-115 to Memphis and 138-111 at the LA Clippers.

The Suns bounced back before returning home though, following up a 127-109 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers with a 127-116 win at Portland.
