Another tough night could be in store for the winless Kings.
Sacramento suffered a humiliating 31 point defeat at the hands of the Grizzlies on Sunday, their fourth consecutive game losing by double digits.
Darius Acuff Jr is the one bright spot on the team with serious All-Star claims, but outside of their rookie point guard, the Kings are the worst team in the league sporting one of the worst defensive structures we’ve seen.
Averaging just over 128 points a night to opponents, Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving should make short work of Sacramento with the Spurs ahead on Thursday.

The Raptors remain in Los Angeles for the second half of their back to back against the Clippers.
Toronto fell 131-125 to the Lakers last night, a game that got out of hand quickly before Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett clicked into gear.
Back to back losses has brought the Raptors back down to earth after a hot start to the season, but it’s hard to point to one glaring problem other than their inability to defend the perimiter.
Toronto has allowed the second-highest three-point percentage to opponents over its last five games, and while you don’t think of the Clippers as a good shooting team, you might be surprised to learn they rank fifth in three-point shooting percentage on the season.
