[Game] Kings vs Lakers, 12/21/2022 7pm Pacific 10pm Eastern

BEAT LA AND GO KINGS

Man, I’m super nervous for tonight’s game. We can’t be losing by back to back home games against losing teams, especially when one of those teams is the Lakers. This homestand is a great chance to create some separation of the middle of the pack within the West. Losing to Charlotte and LAL at home will squarely keep you in that pack.

If Sabonis plays, I’m not really sure who we will start. Holmes or Metu are the best bets. I’d go with Holmes since he has that starting experience.

Is Sabonis hurt?

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Is Sabonis hurt?

He’s listed as questionable for tonight’s game. My gut feeling is he’ll play through it but we’ll see.

Is Sabonis hurt?

Sore left wrist.

 

[Fantazija]

Judging by the line ( Kings -6) Vegas thinks Domas is okay and will play

I am sure it won't be a popular take, but I almost want to see a couple of games without Sabonis to let the team to evaluate our other 5's (Queta particularly) in some real NBA games. I am concerned Sabonis is playing way too many minutes

I like this idea but let’s wait until we come up against some teams we are “supposed” to lose to before we sit Sabonis. I don’t want to lose to Western Conference rivals if we don’t have to.

Huge for us! Without AD and Russ, it’s really a one man show. No real excuse to lose unless LeBron goes nuclear.

Doesn't matter. Kelly Oubre transferred his powers to someone on the Lakers. My guess is Austin Reeves will have a career game on us.

2 words you: free throws.

Austin Reeves was also doubtful to play earlier in the day so he might be out as well.

If we weren't trying to break a 16 year playoff drought I would agree with this

 

[NewArena]

Bad losses in an 82 game season will happen. Get over it and make a statement tonight! I’m glad I’ll be in the building for this one. Feeling good about our team

 

[NewArena]

Ugh i hope Sabonis is ok

 

[iowamcnabb]

We haven’t heard on Sabonis or Falcon have we?

We haven’t heard on Sabonis or Falcon have we?

I thought I read on the twitters that both were at the shootaround this morning?

Both were at shoot around this morning.

I heard that as well but didn’t take that as confirmation they were playing

Spoke to Domantas Sabonis in the locker room. He isn’t completely sure how he hurt his left hand, but it was an aggravation of a previous issue. He’s good to go.

Kings Updated Injury Report vs. Los Angeles Lakers - 12/21:No injuries to report

Lakers going with the 3 guard, one center, and one power forward lineup. With Reeves and JTA out, Lakers are completely shallow on the wings.

 

[captain bill]

**** the lakers

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Mark Jones on a Wednesday?

 

[MizzouKing]

I just hope the guys are good and pissed off about last game… we tend to play really well that way.

I just hope they were mad enough to work on FTs.
