On Tuesday, the Sacramento Kings will take on the Denver Nuggets while dealing with a 3-7 start, with Domantas Sabonis listed as questionable with a left ribcage contusion and Keegan Murray sidelined after thumb surgery. The Kings have struggled without Sabonis, recording just one win this season, making their task against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets even tougher, according to Sports Illustrated.

The Nuggets, meanwhile, are expected to have Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray back in their lineup, giving them a healthier roster advantage. This contrast in team health could heavily influence the outcome of the nationally-televised game.

The Kings face the Nuggets tonight at Golden 1 Center at 8:00 p.m. PT. "Without Sabonis on the court, the Kings lose their most important presence in the paint as he’s the team’s leading rebounder," as reported by BolaVIP. He averages 14 rebounds and 15.3 points per game.
