Sacramento enters this matchup still finding their rhythm at 2-4 to start the season, though their recent victory over Milwaukee—snapping a three-game losing streak—has provided some momentum heading into Denver. The Kings lean heavily on high-frequency midrange shots while ranking 29th in three-point attempts, a stark contrast to Denver's efficient offensive arsenal. The contrasting playing styles promise an intriguing battle, with Denver's ball-possession dominance and aggressive interior defense set to exploit Sacramento's inconsistent perimeter defense.
