Kings Look to Finish Road Trip Strong Against Playoff-Bound Pistons

The Sacramento Kings are heating up at the right time, and they’ll aim to close their six-game road trip with a third straight win Monday night as they face the Eastern Conference playoff-bound Detroit Pistons.

Sacramento (38-40) snapped a three-game skid to start the trip and now carries some momentum into Detroit after a huge 120-113 win over the conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. Zach LaVine poured in 37 points, DeMar DeRozan added 28, and Domantas Sabonis chipped in with 27 points and nine rebounds as the Kings shot 53.7% from the field and nailed 14 of 33 from deep.

“Fantastic road win. A true team effort… Regardless of the opponent, just a fantastic win,”

– Kings interim coach Doug Christie after Sunday’s upset in Cleveland.

With key contributors Keegan Murray (back) and Jake LaRavia (thumb) sidelined, Sacramento leaned on veteran Trey Lyles, who logged 40 minutes and was named the team’s defensive player of the game.

DeRozan has now scored 21+ points in six straight games, helping the Kings cling to ninth place in the tightly contested Western Conference. Monday also brings a chance at revenge, as Sacramento narrowly lost 114-113 to Detroit at home back in December.

The Pistons (43-35), locked into sixth place in the East and playoff-bound for the first time since 2008, are coming off a 109-103 loss to Memphis on Saturday. But there was some silver lining: Cade Cunningham returned after a six-game absence and looked sharp, finishing with 25 points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes.

“I feel great now… So I feel good going into the playoffs. (Saturday) was a good game for me to try to shake off the rust,”

– Pistons guard Cade Cunningham on his return from injury.

Detroit is managing some lingering injury concerns. Tobias Harris (heel) and Jalen Duren (leg) are both questionable, though Isaiah Stewart returned from suspension with a solid 16-point, eight-rebound effort.

The Pistons have lost three of their last four and are playing their third game in four days, but a strong performance from Cunningham and the home crowd could give them the spark they need.

Sacramento, meanwhile, has rediscovered its rhythm and will look to finish this road swing with a statement win—and continue pushing for better postseason positioning in the West.
