• The spread for the game is Sacramento by 8 points.

• Veteran guard Derrick Rose, the one constant on a roster that has undergone a dramatic turnover due to injuries and transactions, is doing his best to focus on leading the way and his season-high 31 points at Phoenix was the latest example. “That’s how the gods in this game work,” Rose told reporters. “If you play hard the gods will reward you. Tonight, we were rewarded with a win.” Forward Christian Wood contributed 19 points and nine rebounds and averaged 19.3 points and nine boards in February.

• Fox, who was a game-time decision Friday, shot 10-of-19 from the floor and led his team with five assists while also dealing with a shoulder issue. “With that one, it’s on my shooting arm,” he told the media. “It’s something that you move around a lot and get hit with a lot of screens. It’s something that I feel most of the game, but I think I played pretty well, so it’s alright.” Harry Giles III chipped in 16 points Friday one night after scoring 19 – one point shy of his career high – in the loss at Oklahoma City.

• Kings PF Nemanja Bjelica finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds at Memphis for his first double-double in an 18-game span.
