Sacramento Kings vs. Portland Trail Blazers preview

The struggling Sacramento Kings host the Portland Trail Blazers at Golden 1 Center in what's shaping up to be a crucial matchup for both teams' play-in tournament hopes.

The Kings have hit a rough patch, dropping nine of their last twelve games and sliding to the ninth seed in the West, while the Blazers have shown surprising life lately, winning four of their last six despite their underdog status.

Sacramento's home court advantage might not mean much here - they've lost five of their last six as home favorites after a loss, and they're desperately missing Malik Monk's spark off the bench.

Portland's been quietly impressive this season against the spread (41-31-1), and they've already taken two of three matchups against the Kings this year, though they'll have to manage without Deandre Ayton's presence in the paint.

Keep an eye on the Kings' Domantas Sabonis, who's been a force on the boards but struggled to find his scoring touch lately, putting up just eight points in their recent loss to OKC.

The Blazers' Anfernee Simons (19.5 PPG) and Shaedon Sharpe (17.6 PPG) have been carrying the offensive load, but they'll need to step up their efficiency against a Kings defense that's been particularly vulnerable from beyond the arc.

With both teams fighting for their playoff lives and dealing with key injuries, expect this one to be closer than the standings might suggest.
