Sacramento have made a sweep over Dallas in the regular season and enters as favourites in the game.
The Sacramento Kings will host the Dallas Mavericks in a crucial matchup in the Play-in Tournament on Wednesday night. The winner of this game will face the Memphis Grizzlies, who lost to the Warriors 121-116 in the previous game. The final matchup will decide the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference and the winner will meet the OKC Thunder in the first-round playoff series.
The Kings have changed their fortune in the second half of the season. In the last ten games, they have gone 5-5 but clinched the home advantage in the Play-In Tournament after beating the Suns 109-98 in the regular-season finale.
Injuries and a mid-season trade impacted Dallas’ performance this season, but they managed to lock the Play-In spot. Mavericks have gone 4-6 in their last ten games, and they survived due to the poor run of the Phoenix Suns. Sacramento have made a sweep over Dallas in the regular season and enters as favorites in the game.
Let’s figure out the injury report for both teams and its impact on their overall performance.
