A pair of teams intent on improving their playoff prospects in the Western Conference will meet as the Los Angeles Clippers play host to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday at Inglewood, Calif.
Zach LaVine's career has taken a new turn after being moved to the Sacramento Kings, where he has started strong, even winning Conference Player of the Week for the first time.
LaVine totaled 36 points (14-22 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 127-109 victory over San Antonio.
LaVine has been underwhelming since joining the Kings via trade a few weeks ago. The 29-year-old guard is averaging 20.3 points and 4.7 assists through seven games with the Kings, shooting just 43% from the field and 26.4% from beyond the arc.
The Kings destroyed the Charlotte Hornets by 42 behind a 42-point explosion from LaVine and followed it up with a 17-point road win over the Utah Jazz with 22 points from LaVine. The two-time All-Star had a slow start to his Sacramento campaign but has quickly become the potential number-one option in this offense.
