Kings Tangle With 76ers in Philly
The Sacramento Kings take on the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night.

The Kings (18-32) have endured plenty of struggles this season as their record indicates, and they'll come into Saturday's contest having dropped five straight games.

Davion Mitchell supplied 20 points, six assists and two rebounds. Richaun Holmes furnished 12 points, five boards, one assist, two steals and two blocks. Tyrese Haliburton delivered 11 points, seven assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block.

The Kings will continue without Terence Davis (wrist) for Saturday's game. Chimezie Metu (knee) will be listed as questionable.

The 76ers (29-19) come in on a modest but solid upswing, as they've won three straight and six of the last eight overall. Their most recent success came Thursday night, when they defeated a Lakers squad playing without LeBron James, 105-87. Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 26 points, complementing them with nine rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal. Tobias Harris supplied 23 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals. Tyrese Maxey generated a 14-point, 10-assist double-double that included seven rebounds and two blocks. Georges Niang matched Maxey's scoring total and also contributed three rebounds and two assists.

The 76ers will list Seth Curry (ankle) as questionable for Saturday's contest. Shake Milton (back) will remain out.

Saturday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The 76ers hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 102-94 win Nov. 22.
