[8:40 PM] Kings @ Mavericks

Who will WIN this matchup?

Sacramento Kings (7-13)

@ Dallas Mavericks (4-16)

 

• The Dallas Mavericks are suffering through a porous, injury-filled season and the latest player to go down is starting center Andrew Bogut. The defensive-minded big man hyperextended his right knee during Monday’s 109-101 loss to the Charlotte Hornets and joins power forward Dirk Nowitzki (Achilles) and guard J.J. Barea (calf) on the sidelines for Wednesday’s home contest against the Sacramento Kings.

• The Kings are concluding a five-game road trip and dropped their last three games, including Sunday’s 106-98 loss to the New York Knicks.

• Sacramento shot a season-worst 32.3 percent in Sunday’s loss and standout center DeMarcus Cousins was a porous 9-of-30 from the field despite scoring 36 points. The Kings were in each game of the losing skid – including an overtime loss to the Washington Wizards – but late-game miscues continue to be an issue for the club.

• Dallas SF Harrison Barnes scored 29 points in the loss to Charlotte for his fifth 20-point outing in the past eight games.

• The Kings won three of four against the Mavericks last season.
