So far this season, the Kings have won both meetings against Phoenix. However, it should be pointed out that the Suns were without both Durant and Beal for one of the games and just Beal for the other.

With the team now nearly at full strength, the Suns aim to turn the tables against their Pacific Conference rivals.

On the injury front, the Suns report only two players – Bol Bol, sidelined with a right ankle sprain, and Damion Lee, who has been out all season due to right meniscus surgery.

For the Kings, Keegan Murray is listed as questionable with right hip irritation after leaving Sunday’s game against the Bucks in the second half. Murray, averaging nearly 16 points per game, has not missed a game since November.

Other than that, the Kings will be fully healthy and eager to snap their two-game skid. Sacramento has not experienced a three-game losing streak since the first week of the season.
