The Kings are wrapping up a five-game road trip on Friday night after picking up wins over Indiana, Orlando and Houston. They are 3.5 games back of San Antonio for the final play-in spot in the Western Conference. 

The Kings are also without their leading scorer, as point guard De’Aaron Fox remains sidelined with a hand injury. Their injury issues do not stop there, as second-leading scorer Domantas Sabonis is out with a knee issue. Sacramento will be needing a big game from Harrison Barnes, who averages 16.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.
