The Kings are back in action tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers after somehow, someway getting a win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In that contest, the Kings were down by double digits but were led back by Buddy Hield's 21 points to pick up the win. Zach Randolph who started off slow both offensively and defensively chipped in 18 points and 8 rebounds. The Kings, as a whole, once again started the game off very slow, but quickly found their rhythm. The team ended the game shooting 46.8% from the field. The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off of a win against the Utah Jazz. After trusting the process for so long, things are starting to look good for the 76ers.

Keys to the Game:

•Quicker start

Starting off games 0/10 isn't going to cut it. In today's game, making shots at the start of games are very important. Find the open man and get points on the board early.

•Shut down Philly's young core

Ben Simmons, Dario Saric, Joel Embiid just to name a few are all young but dangerous players. You've got to keep them from having big nights.
