Sacramento Kings: Looking at the Week Ahead February 13th Edition

This article takes a look at the Sacramento Kings schedule for the week of February 13th to February 19th to give you a guide of what is ahead.

The Sacramento Kings have just two more games before the NBA’s All-Star break. They will be on the road both Tuesday and Wednesday before taking a week off to recharge for the stretch run.

The Kings enter the week on a three-game winning streak. Sacramento defeated the Celtics, Hawks, and Pelicans last week. The team has, also, won four of their last five games and is riding high heading into this short week.

Let us now take a closer look at each of the Sacramento Kings’ games this week.

Game 56 at Los Angeles Lakers

When- Tuesday, February 14th at 7:30 pm Pacific

Where- Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA

Tuesday marks the third regular season meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers this season. The teams have split the first two meetings. The Kings dominated the Lakers 116-92 in the most recent meeting on December 12th. Below is a highlight video of that game to refresh your memory on the happenings.

It is worth mentioning that the Lakers have transitioned into starting their young talent and attempting to improve and mesh them as a unit. Expect to see a heavy dose of D’Angelo Russell, Brandon Ingram, and Julius Randle on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Game 57 at Golden State Warriors

When- Wednesday, February 15th at 7:30 pm Pacific

Where- ORACLE Arena in Oakland, CA

The Sacramento Kings face their third meeting against the Warriors this season on Wednesday. The Kings sparked their recent run of good play in the February 4th victory over Golden State 109-106 in overtime. That game was in Sacramento and defeating the Warriors at home is a different story.
