Friday, March 11: @ Sacramento Kings

The story is pretty much the same all season for the Kings and it is one the Magic are familiar with: On the outside looking in.

DeMarcus Cousins continues to dominate. Rajon Rondo chips in every now and then. Rudy Gay is there. That is about the whole thing.

The Kings have the marks of a George Karl team: they have the highest pace in the league, they score the most points and then they allow a whole bunch too.

The Kings sit in 10th in the Western Conference and are the point in the season where it will become clear very soon whether they will race for the eighth or fall back with the New Orleans Pelicans and Denver Nuggets in mid-lottery purgatory.

The Kings also suffer from injury woes right now, and should (should!) be an easy — at least, easier — target for the Magic.
