The Sacramento Kings look to get in the win column against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
In the 2023-24 season, the Kings struggled in these situations, typically playing down to their inferior opponents, resulting in poor losses. The addition of six-time All-Star veteran forward DeMar DeRozan is supposed to fix those lapses, but Monday night will be a huge test to that theory.
A notable storyline that will always come with a matchup between the Kings and Blazers is the identical twin battle. Sacramento's Keegan Murray has burst onto the NBA scene, while his twin brother Kris was drafted by Portland a year later. Keegan struggled against Kris and the Trail Blazers last season, averaging just 8.7 points through three games and shooting a poor 25 percent from the field. He will certainly look to improve his performance against his familiar foe on Monday night.
