This game will not have the interest of many fans because of how these two teams are playing this year, as the NBA schedule has the Sacramento Kings vs Utah Jazz tonight.
Due to their four consecutive losses, the Utah Jazz are slipping a little in the NBA standings. The Sacramento Kings, who are even 5-6 in their last eleven games, are still in the running for one of the top spots in the Western Conference.
When the Sacramento Kings visit the Utah Jazz tonight, they will want to get back to winning. After dropping their last four games, the Jazz players are in trouble.
Last Friday in Sacramento, these two teams faced off, with the Kings winning by a slim 1-point score. To finish in the top eight in the Western Conference, Utah must rapidly regain its form.
The 8-game Jazz winning streak over the Sacramento Kings was snapped by the latter team. On the upcoming road trip, they plan to keep up the same performance.
Up until now, the Kings had put on a solid performance. In the Western Conference, they are presently in sixth place.

Kings vs Jazz Last Game Records
The last team that the Kings played was the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Kings lost to the Memphis Grizzlies this past Sunday, 118-108. De’Aaron Fox scored 19 points and dished out six assists, but he also committed five turnovers. Domantas Sabonis had 18 points, and 14 rebounds, and Malik Monk had 18 points and three assists.
Fox will be the man to look out for against the Jazz tonight.
The Utah Jazz, however, lost their last four games after being defeated by the Miami Heat at home on Saturday by 126-123.
The Jazz disappointed their supporters on New Year’s Eve following a poor three-game road trip which did not help the defeat in Sacramento. Jordan Clarkson had 22 points, and three assists, and Lauri Markkanen had 29 points and 14 rebounds.
The man to look for in tonight’s game for the Utah Jazz will be Jordan Clarkson, who has been solid for the Jazz this season.
Sacramento Kings vs Utah Jazz Analysis
These two teams will be familiar opponents in NBA matchups, as they played each other last Friday. On Friday, Kevin Huerter’s 3-pointer with 9.2 seconds left helped the Kings defeat the Jazz.
When Utah plays Sacramento, I expect another close game that could easily go either way. Both teams rely heavily on 3-point shooting but struggle to defend, especially in the paint. Lauri Markkanen, who scored 36 points against the Kings in that sad loss, is someone to keep an eye on.
There are a few guys to look for during tonight’s game. The main three guys for the Kings will be De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and Malik Monk. Here are the NBA player stats for the Kings.
Fox is the main guy for the Kings, while NBA team stats have him averaging 23.4 points per game and has been adding 5.9 assists per game. Sabonis has also helped the Kings out with his rebounding ability while he has been averaging 12.4 rebounds per game.
The next guy will be from the Utah Jazz, which are Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, and Malik Beasley. Markkanen has been the leading scorer for the Jazz averaging 23.8 points per game. Jordan Clarkson has also been a scorer for the Jazz while he is averaging a solid 20.5 points per game. All these players you will need to look at all before betting on tonight’s game.
