The Sacramento Kings welcome the Chicago Bulls to the Golden 1 Center in what shapes up as a classic clash between two teams heading in opposite directions - the Kings riding high after their explosive win over Memphis while the Bulls try to build on their recent victory against Utah.

De'Aaron Fox and company's high-octane offense, averaging 116.5 points per game, will test Chicago's vulnerable defense that's giving up nearly 120 points per contest, though Coby White's recent hot streak gives the Bulls a puncher's chance.

The Sacramento Kings (34-33) host the Chicago Bulls (29-39) in what promises to be an up-tempo showdown between Malik Monk's sixth-man heroics and Chicago's perimeter shooting prowess.

Sacramento Kings vs. Chicago Bulls preview

The Sacramento Kings are set to host the Chicago Bulls at the Golden 1 Center in what's shaping up to be an intriguing cross-conference clash.

The Kings' offense has been clicking lately, with Malik Monk's explosive 28-point performance against Memphis showcasing their firepower, while the Bulls have found their rhythm behind Coby White's steady hand at the helm.

Chicago's defense has been their Achilles' heel this season, sitting 28th in points allowed, which could spell trouble against a Kings team shooting a solid 47.8% from the field.

Both teams have been putting up identical numbers on offense, averaging 116.5 points per game, but Sacramento's superior field goal percentage might give them the edge in this matchup.

The Bulls' perimeter defense could be the deciding factor, as they've held opponents to a respectable 34.1% from beyond the arc, while the Kings have shown they're not afraid to let it fly from deep.

Keep an eye on the battle of the sixth men, with Monk's recent hot streak for Sacramento going up against White, who's been lighting it up for Chicago with performances like his recent 26-point outburst against Utah.

The Kings' home court advantage at the Golden 1 Center, combined with their more efficient shooting, makes them the team to beat in this one, though Chicago's knack for forcing turnovers could make this more interesting than the records suggest.
