The Kings provided quite a surprise to their interim coach, Alvin Gentry, on his first game back from a COVID-19 related absence this past Sunday. Sacramento was whipped, 127-102, at home by Memphis. A livid Gentry called it the most disappointing performance he's had in his 34 years in the NBA.

Gentry totally ripped his Kings.

So I want the Kings going for me in what I anticipate should be an all-out effort. Oklahoma City is playing well, but the Thunder are one of the weaker teams in the NBA. They are fat and happy after upsetting the Pelicans at home in their last game two days ago.

De'Aaron Fox returned from missing four games due to COVID protocols. He didn't play well against the Grizzlies, but he should have gotten the rust off. Fox is the Kings' best player and makes them a better team.
