When: 7:00 PM PST, 10:00 PM ET

Radio: KHTK Sports 1140 AM

In Tuesday nights 113-108 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, pretty-decent-center Jusuf Nurkiu0107 dropped an insane 5x5 stat line that included 24 points and 23 rebounds against the Kings’ poor interior defense, and it doesn’t get any easier for the frontcourt tonight.
