The Kings have lost 15 of their last 19 games , putting them in a desperate position to find their footing against one of the conference's hottest teams. The Rockets have won 13 of their last 16 games , establishing themselves as legitimate Western Conference contenders with elite two-way performance. Unfortunately, ShotQuality data remains unavailable for both Sacramento and Houston , limiting our ability to dive deeper into their shot efficiency patterns heading into this matchup. Kevin Durant is averaging 24.6 points and 4.8 rebounds, while Alperen Sengun is averaging 22 points and 9.4 rebounds for a Rockets offense that has proven nearly impossible to slow down. Sacramento is averaging 111.6 points on 46.7 percent shooting and allowing 123.1 points on 49.9 percent shooting , a defensive vulnerability the high-octane Rockets will look to exploit throughout the evening. Domantas Sabonis is out due to a knee injury, which impacts their rebounding efforts , further complicating the Kings' ability to match Houston's physicality and control the glass. The Kings have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Rockets , suggesting Sacramento possesses the talent to remain competitive despite their current struggles and roster limitations.
