"The Kings have been one of the league's biggest disappointments this season. Despite a roster that has Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Russell Westbrook- they have underperformed to a 12-31 record thus far. They sit at the 14th seed in the Western Conference and have lost eight of their last 10 games. Miami is in need of a bounce back performance. Not only after falling to the Warriors on Monday night, but after the Kings stormed into Kaseya Center and upset the Heat back on December 6. In that game, LaVine torched the Heat defense with a 42-point eruption."

Miami heads to Sacramento on the second half of a back-to-back following a discouraging second-half loss to Golden State. The Kings own a 12-31 record and sit 14th in the Western Conference, having lost eight of their last 10 games despite a roster featuring Sabonis, DeRozan, LaVine and Westbrook. Miami looks to end a three-game losing streak and avenge a December 6 upset in which LaVine scored 42 points. Tyler Herro is expected to be unavailable. Projected starting lineups include Westbrook, LaVine, DeRozan, Achiuwa and Sabonis for Sacramento, and Mitchell, Powell, Larsson, Wiggins and Adebayo for Miami. Tipoff is 10:00 PM EST with TV and radio coverage listed.
