Phoenix is in a revenge spot after losing 114-106 to the Kings in the first meeting on Dec. 8 and the Suns also look to bounce back from a bad loss to lowly Portland on Tuesday as a 7.5-point favorite while hitting only five of 23 shots from 3-point range and blowing a 16-point lead. Sacramento comes off a 144-119 home loss against Boston, which was playing without top scorer Jayson Tatum for the first time this season and the Celtics still shot 55 percent overall and 52 percent on 3-pointers. The Suns didn't have Kevin Durant in the lineup in the first meeting due to an ankle injury, but he'll play tonight after scoring 40 points against the Trail Blazers. Sacramento allows 118.2 points per game, which is No. 22 in the league. Play the Suns.
