Malik Monk was already having the best season of his career, but under Doug Christie, his play has really taken off.
DeMar DeRozan had 33 points, Malik Monk added 26 points and nine assists and the Sacramento Kings beat the Houston Rockets 132-127 on Thursday night.
For the first time since Doug Christie took the helm as head coach, the Sacramento Kings have lost back-to-back games.
With the trade deadline looming, De'Aaron Fox could be back on the trading block after a season of speculation.
De'Aaron Fox scored 30 points to lead the Kings to a 110-96 victory over the Nets, despite playing with a sprained thumb.
Even with the Sacramento Kings righting the ship after a slow start, a massive organizational change is right on the horizon with De'Aaron Fox likely leaving.
If a team is  somewhere in the middle, it better have a clear direction because floundering around play-in territory is the NBA’s version of purgatory.
De’Aaron Fox scored 16 of his 30 points in the third quarter Monday night as the Sacramento Kings erased a nine-point deficit and pulled away down the stretch for a 110-96 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA.
Nets : OUT: Bojan Bogdanovic (foot), Cam Johnson (ankle), Maxwell Lewis (tibia), De’Anthony Melton (knee), Cam Thomas (hamstring), and Trendon Watford (hamstring). QUESTIONABLE: Ben Simmons (back). Kings : OUT: Isaiah Crawford (G League), Colby Jones (G League), and Isaac Jones (G League).
The Knicks have an opportunity to extend their winning streak to four games on Monday, but the road ahead doesn’t get any easier.
The Sacramento Kings' chances to acquire Cameron Johnson from the Brooklyn Nets may depend on whether they are willing to include their star rookie in trade talks.
The Kings almost came back from a 25-point deficit on the second night of a back-to-back, but Nikola Jokic was too much to overcome.
