De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings (24-44) will take on Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz (41-25) in part of the Saturday NBA slate.
The Jazz are coming off a disappointing 104-102 loss to the San Antonio Spurs and will look to bounce-back in order to avoid getting passed up by the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference standings.
Right now, Utah holds a half-game lead over the Mavericks. The stakes being that home-court advantage is at stake for the first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs make it significant.
Donovan Mitchell has done his best to carry this Jazz team’s offense as of late. Bojan Bogdanovic being sidelined has furthered that.
