Preview: Kings (7-15) vs Jazz (9-9)

In their first home game in eight days, the Kings face a group who has surprised many, as the Jazz currently stand as the seventh seed in the Western Conference.

Utah is coming off of an exhilarating overtime win over the Indiana Pacers, led by forward-center Derrick Favors who tallied a career-high 35 points. With the win, the Jazz moved to 5-5 in their last 10 games. Their biggest strength comes at the defensive end, where they hold opponents to an average of nearly 96 points a game, ranking third-lowest in the NBA.

The Kings are looking to bounce back after three consecutive road setbacks -- two of which came in the final minutes at Houston and Oklahoma City, respectively.
