On the Sacramento Kings podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 The Miami Heat’s (32-26) Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic and Thomas Bryant sat out the game in Sacramento on Monday night after being suspended for fighting on Friday with the New Orleans Pelicans. Meanwhile the Heat had four players out due to injuries Tyler Herro (left knee), Terry Rozier (right knee), Josh Richardson (right shoulder) and Orlando Robinson (back) and they still were able to beat the Sacramento Kings (33-24) 121-110.

#2 Try as hard as they did the Kings Domantas Sabonis once again scored another triple double with 14 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds leading the NBA with 21 triple doubles.

#3 Sabonis is something of a Superman becoming the tenth player in NBA history to have 40 straight double doubles.

#4 The Kings Keegan Murray had 28 points and De’Aaron Fox had 27 points despite their hard effort and working the Heat they needed more points and help than that.

#5 The Kings will try their luck again they’ll take on the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night at Ball Arena in Denver. The Kings have defeated the Nuggets in their last two meetings Feb 9 135-106 and Feb 14 102-98. Can the Kings take a third game from the NBA Champion Nuggets tonight?
