The Sacramento Kings return from a five -game, 10-day Eat Coast road trip to host the Brooklyn Nets in their first contest of a quick home-stand Wednesday night. The travels were not kind to Sacramento, who went 0-5 on that tour of the Eastern Conference in truly embarrassing fashion. Looking for their first win in almost three weeks, it feels all but doomed yet desperate that the Kings will rinse and repeat in their quest to crack the winning bracket against the stacked - although shorthanded and skidding - Brooklyn team.
It’s been a unique season for the Nets, who have had their Big 3 in James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant on the court together less than the time it took for Sacramento to beat the Lakers in triple overtime.
