Sacramento Kings vs Cleveland Cavaliers
PREVIEW: The Sacramento Kings will attempt to snap an 11-game losing streak when hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 7, 2026 at Golden 1 Center. The Kings are navigating one of their most difficult stretches of the season, missing Domantas Sabonis due to lower back pain and losing Keegan Murray to an ankle injury, leaving their interior defense vulnerable. Sacramento ranks 1st in high-frequency midrange shooting, yet struggles defensively, ranking 27th against rim attacks and 28th against three-point shooting. DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine continue to shoulder the offensive load for a team desperately seeking momentum at home.
The Cavaliers arrive in strong form, sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 31-21 record after dominating the Los Angeles Clippers 124-91. Cleveland's offensive profile emphasizes efficient rim attacks, ranking 2nd in that category, plus high-volume three-point shooting at 44.9% of attempts. Donovan Mitchell remains the engine driving their offense with his elite scoring and playmaking, while Jarrett Allen provides interior presence and rebounding prowess. The Cavaliers project as the more stable team, boasting better depth and rim protection where Sacramento's defense has crumbled.
