Dallas Mavericks vs Sacramento Kings: Preview

The Kings head to Dallas on Sunday, high on confidence. They rely heavily on their 3-point shooting and defensively are 18th in the league in the number of points allowed. Their perimeter defense needs work, as they are placed 24th at the time of writing. This spells trouble against a team that has Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

The Mavericks will bank on Irving and Doncic, as always, to do the bulk of the damage. Against the Bucks, both guards combined for 74 points, but it wasn't enough to get them past Giannis Antetokounmpo's 40-point explosion.

There won't be any changes in the Mavericks starting unit. Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic, Grant Williams, Derrick Jones Jr., and Dereck Lively II will be the starters.

The Kings are unlikely to make any changes as well despite Kevin Huerter (finger) being listed as questionable. He will share guard duties with De'Aaron Fox. Keegan Murray, Harrison Barnes, and Domantas Sabonis will form the rest of the lineup.
