[7:10 PM] Kings @ 76ers

Who will WIN this matchup?

Sacramento Kings (7-11)

@ Philadelphia 76ers (4-14)

 

• The line for this game is Sacramento by 5 points.

• Playing on the road without Joel Embiid was too tall a task for the Philadelphia 76ers, but a return home with their star center available makes them a different team. The 76ers will try to snap a four-game slide when Embiid goes up against DeMarcus Cousins and the visiting Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.

• Sacramento is getting to the point where it expects to win tight games, and Cousins took the loss on Monday hard. The Kings won three of their previous four games and continue to get solid contributions from point guard Ty Lawson, who moved back to a reserve role and is averaging 12.3 points on 13-of-25 shooting in the last three games.

• Philadelphia guard Jerryd Bayless sat out Monday with wrist soreness and played in just three of the first 18 games due to the same ailment. The 28-year-old, who signed with the 76ers as a free agent over the summer, is supposed to be the starting point guard for a team that continues to search for offensive production from the backcourt.

• Kings SG Arron Afflalo scored in single digits in four straight games and six of the last seven.

• 76ers F Dario Saric is shooting 26.3 percent from the floor in the last five games.

• The road team took each of the two meetings last season, with Sacramento posting a 114-110 triumph in Philadelphia on Feb. 10.

• This game has been postponed till later in the season due to wetness on the floor.
