DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points to help the Kings win 113-103 over the Houston Rockets. Six players scored double-digit points for Sacramento.
The Sacramento Kings are right in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race. Currently sitting at No. 9 in the standings, they are set to square off against the No. 10-seeded Dallas Mavericks.
Murray racked up 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 35 minutes during Friday's 127-109 win over San Antonio. Murray and DeMar DeRozan have stepped up during Domantas Sabonis' (hamstring) absence.
NBA rebounding leader Domantas Sabonis is out indefinitely after straining his left hamstring Saturday night in the Sacramento Kings' victory in Houston.
Sabonis has been doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the Kings since their trade of De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs, although it should be noted that newly acquired Zach LaVine has also been playing during his Sacramento tenure thus far. LaVine of course is paired with his former Chicago Bulls teammate DeMar DeRozan on the Kings.
