Game Preview Phoenix Suns @ Sacramento Kings
The Phoenix Suns head to Golden 1 Center for a Pacific Division showdown with the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, November 26. This matchup tips off at 10:00 PM ET and marks a key early-season contest within the NBA Western Conference.
Phoenix is 11-7 on the season but comes in following a 114-92 loss to Houston. Despite being without Grayson Allen and rookie Ryan Dunn, the Suns remain one of the more balanced teams in the conference thanks to their top-tier three-point shooting and defensive execution.
The Kings are just 5-13 but have won two straight, including an impressive 117-112 overtime victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, they’ll be without Domantas Sabonis, their leading rebounder and facilitator, due to injury. The impact of his absence could be the difference against a Suns squad that thrives on ball movement and shot quality.
This is a matchup that may influence standings in the NBA Pacific Division and potential tiebreakers later in the season.

Phoenix Suns Outlook
The Suns rank among the league’s best in both offensive efficiency and defensive metrics. They currently sit 6th in the NBA in scoring defense, allowing just 113.3 points per game. Their ability to limit perimeter looks and rotate defensively has been key.
Offensively, Phoenix is 4th in three-point percentage at 38.1%. Even with Grayson Allen sidelined, they maintain spacing with Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Eric Gordon capable of stretching the floor. Booker will be expected to step up after a quiet 18-point outing against Houston.
The absence of Sacramento’s interior anchor Sabonis opens opportunities for Phoenix to dominate on the boards and create second-chance points. This game could serve as a bounce-back spot for a Suns team trying to improve their 3-4 road record.

Sacramento Kings Outlook
Sacramento is coming off back-to-back wins, sparked by a resurgence from Keegan Murray, who posted 26 points and 15 rebounds against the Timberwolves. DeMar DeRozan added 33 points in the win, while Malik Monk had a clutch fourth quarter.
Still, the Kings rank 27th in the NBA in points allowed per game (123.7). Their defensive issues, especially without Sabonis, make them vulnerable against well-spaced offenses like Phoenix.
The Kings are 5-1 this season when Murray scores 20+ points and grabs 10+ boards, underscoring how critical his development has become. Rookie Maxime Raynaud is stepping in for Sabonis, but he faces a steep challenge against the Suns’ veteran frontcourt.

The Lean
The Kings have some momentum, but they’re still missing their most important player. Without Sabonis, Sacramento is significantly less efficient in both half-court offense and defensive rebounding.
Phoenix has advantages in shooting, depth, and defense. Their ability to contain dribble penetration and convert open threes gives them a clear edge. Sacramento ranks among the league’s worst in defensive efficiency and is prone to giving up big runs.
Spread Pick: Phoenix Suns -4.5
Total Pick: Under 233.5
Projected Final Score: Phoenix Suns 120, Sacramento Kings 112
