The Sacramento Kings will open up their three-game road swing this afternoon as they take on a Charlotte Hornets team plagued by the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols.
Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball, Jalen McDaniels, Mason Plumlee, Terry Rozier and Ish Smith have been ruled out tonight due to Covid-19 protocol, a scenario Sacramento has been fortunate enough to avoid in this season.
The last time these two teams met looked very different, and tonight is arguably a brand new ballgame for Sacramento just as much as it is for Charlotte. The Kings hosted the Hornets on November 5, breaking the franchise record in 3-pointers made at 23.
