Sacramento Kings

USA

Key players of Sacramento have returned to action, but so far they didn't bring any impact for the Kings. Alvin Gentry lost the most recent match to weakened Dallas (96:112). But before that Kings managed to beat the Mavericks. They won the first match by a 95:94 score.

Sacramento is currently at the 10th spot in the standings of the Western Conference. This position will let them to advance into the play-in. But they need to retain that spot. That's why they need to record more victories.

Miami Heat

USA

Miami won the most recent match. This time Heat recorded an away victory over Houston (120:110). Jimmy Butler returned to the line-up and helped Eric Spoelstra's team. Jimmy became the best player of the team, scoring 37 points in just 35 minutes. Tyler Herro also put up a great performance.

Heat are still playing without a number of players. They are going to California with a weakened squad. Team will rely on Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler at Golden 1 Center. But it is uncertain, whether their performance will be enough for a victory.
