The keys of Kings.

The Season 2022-2023 from NBA is here. And that means one of the most questionable teams is back: Sacramento Kings.

Domantas Sabonis Sacramento Kings

NBA Entertainment

Domantas Sabonis’ time in Indiana came to an end last year, opening up the opportunity to lead a new project on the other side of the country. The Kings have pinned all their hopes that the Lithuanian figure can take the club to the next level.

As a playmaker and resource optimizer, Sabas is one of the players who perform best in this type of environment. While the interior will never stand out as the top scorer, it has the ability to make the team work without drawing much attention. And it’s that his vision when passing the ball deserves a special mention, something they’ve lacked in Sacramento in recent seasons and that in 2022-2023 they will finally be able to take advantage of.

The short amount of time Sabonis has spent last season since the trade has shown what he can bring to the table, but it remains to be seen if he can match up with De’Aaron Fox. In the 360 minutes they have accumulated on the track since February, they have made -1.9 net score, one of the worst records in pairs with the same volume of minutes.

If the Lithuanian has no doubts about what he can provide, it becomes apparent when he looks at the rest of the Sacramento team.

The story to come for the Sacramento Kings in 2022-2023

De Aaron Fox

The last time Sacramento Kings they got in Playoffs Domantas Sabonis was a few weeks away from fulfillment 10 years. Too long a stretch in which the franchise has chained unfinished business after unfinished business, a series of lottery picks, disappointing signings and coaches who haven’t gotten them back to the postseason. Mike Brown has his most important challenge ahead of him from any of your professional colleagues: ask the Kings to end their streak.

In favor of the Californians’ goal is the fact that they don’t need to be the most consistent team in the regular season, just to win at least two games when they need to. That means finishing in the Play-In spots and repeating the Pelicans’ feat last season. Do they have options? The reality is that they will have to fight for a spot between the 7th and 10th rankings with the Wolves, Lakers, Blazers and Pelicans, no easy task.

In their favor is the fact that they are a fairly mature team, with elements of the optimal age to take the expected step forward, in addition to having potentially transferable pieces that can help them in the final stretch of the season.

Version Forbes announced its annual ranking of the world’s most expensive sports teams.

NFL franchise Dallas Cowboys, estimated to be worth $13 billion, has led the pack for the ninth year in a row.

NBA: Tension in Atlanta, overtime in Sacramento and confident victory for New York

Six games of the NBA regular season were played on the night of December 21-22.

Atlanta hosted Chicago and lost in a high-scoring game.

The teams focused on offense from the beginning of the match and this continued throughout the game. As a result, Atlanta made 23 three-pointers and Chicago made 20, and both teams had a shooting percentage close to 50. The teams also frequently missed each other at the basket, so the game resembled a constant exchange of points. The leader changed 20 times in the meeting and the fate of the match was decided at the last minute. Prior to that, the Bulls had built a 6-point advantage, but the Hawks nearly made up for it as the opponents took one of every two shots and Young and Johnson each scored three points for the home team. Still, the outcome was 152:150 in favor of Chicago.

The most productive player of the match was Johnson, who fell one assist short of a triple-double with 36 points and 11 rebounds. The Bulls also had a triple-double contender, but Giddy, who had 19 points and 11 assists, was one rebound short.

Sacramento made a great comeback against Houston and won at home.

Having performed better in the first half, the Rockets eventually gained an advantage of 11 points (68:57) and maintained a comfortable distance from the opponent in the third quarter with 9 points (91:82), and at the beginning of the fourth 12 minutes, this difference increased to +14 – 100:86. But after that the Kings made a 12:0 move and practically equalized: 98:100. Houston then had a few-point advantage, but with 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Westbrook made a three-pointer and tied the score at 112:112. The match went to overtime and Schroeder’s three-point shot 4 seconds before the siren was decisive – 125:124.

At the end of this match, Schröder recorded a double-double with 27 points and 10 assists. While Westbrook achieved the same success with 21 points and 13 rebounds, Reynaud also played with 12 points and 14 rebounds.

New York confidently won its home game against Miami.

Heat had a successful performance by winning the first quarter with a score of 37:30, but in the second 12 minutes, the Knicks managed to close the gap and take the lead and entered the long break with +4 – 66:62 on the scoreboard. In the second half, New York constantly kept its opponent within two or three attacks and carried the match to a confident victory with 132:125.

Brunson was the best player of the game, scoring 47 points, which significantly helped the Knicks win.
