The Nuggets were without Christian Braun and notorious King killer Aaron Gordon. In what is already a lost season, “ compete level ” has been a buzzword during what has been a not great season, so far.

Zach LaVine led the way for the Kings in Thursday’s loss as he ended the game with 26 points and two assists while Maxime Raynaud recorded 12 points and three rebounds off the bench. While both teams are looking to grab a victory in Saturday night’s matchup, both squads may be without some of their key players due to injuries.

Following the Sacramento Kings’ 41-point blowout loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Russell Westbrook asked a reporter if he could wait to be interviewed until after Saturday night’s game in Denver.

Outside of Sabonis, all of the Kings' main roster is available against the Nuggets. All three two-way players, Dylan Cardwell, Daeqwon Plowden, and Isaiah Stevens, are with the Stockton Kings for the night.

Nikola Jokic scored 35 points and had 15 rebounds, Jamal Murray added 23 points and the Denver Nuggets won their fifth game in a row, 122-108 over the Sacramento Kings.
