The Sacramento Kings have had their fair share of struggles over the years, but this season they've shown some promise. With De'Aaron Fox back in the lineup and providing a scoring punch, the Kings have a chance to take advantage of the struggling San Antonio Spurs.
Fox has had a significant impact on the Kings' offense. Since his return from an ankle sprain, he's been averaging 28 points per game, helping to boost the team's Offensive Rating. In fact, the Kings' Offensive Rating improves by 7.9 points with Fox on the court compared to when he's off it.
On the other hand, the Spurs have been going through a rough patch. They have lost six straight games and have the worst defense in the league. Their inability to stop opponents from scoring has resulted in a 9-2 record to the over this season.
Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses. The Kings have struggled with their shooting percentage, but they have fared better in home games, averaging 120.8 points per game. The Spurs, on the other hand, have been more productive offensively at home, averaging 116.8 points per game.
In this matchup, it will be interesting to see if Fox can continue to lead the Kings' offense and exploit the Spurs' defensive vulnerabilities. Can the Kings take advantage of their home court and come out with a victory? Only time will tell.
