The Cleveland Cavaliers haven't won a matchup against the Sacramento Kings since Dec. 6 of 2017, but they'll be looking to end the drought this past Saturday. Cleveland might have tired legs after a contest yesterday as they head on the road against Sacramento at 10 p.m. ET March 27 at Golden 1 Center.
