Sacramento @ San Antonio
Current Records: Sacramento 21-25; San Antonio 23-20
The Sacramento Kings are 4-13 against the San Antonio Spurs since November of 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Monday. Sacramento will challenge San Antonio on the road at 8:30 p.m. ET at AT&T Center. If the game is anything like the Spurs' 129-120 win from their previous meeting in July of last year, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.
Things were close when Sacramento and the Cleveland Cavaliers clashed this past Saturday, but Sacramento ultimately edged out the opposition 100-98. It was another big night for Sacramento's point guard De'Aaron Fox, who had 36 points and six assists. The contest made it Fox's fourth in a row with at least 30 points.
