The Brooklyn Nets take on the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center on Wednesday night.

The Nets (29-21) come into Wednesday's interconference clash reeling from a five-game losing streak. Their most recent stumble just unfolded Tuesday night, when they dropped a 121-111 decision to the Phoenix Suns. Kyrie Irving led the Nets with 26 points, adding four rebounds, three assists and one steal. James Harden generated a 22-point, 10-assist double-double that included five rebounds and one steal. Blake Griffin totaled 17 points, six boards, two assists and one steal Kessler Edwards produced 13 points, five rebounds and one steal.

The Nets are expected to remain without LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) and Kevin Durant (knee) for Wednesday's game.

The Kings (18-34) have struggled most of the season as their record clearly indicates, and recent key injuries have only served to unsurprisingly exacerbate the situation. Sacramento enters Wednesday's contest mired in a seven-game losing streak, with its most recent stumble a 116-96 loss to the New York Knicks on Monday night. Tyrese Haliburton led the way with 21 points, adding eight assists and one rebound. Davion Mitchell registered 18 points, six assists, one rebound and two blocks. Harrison Barnes and Buddy Hield provided matching 11-point, five-rebound tallies.

The Kings are likely to list De’Aaron Fox (ankle) and Marvin Bagley (ankle) as no better than questionable for Wednesday's game. Terence Davis (wrist) will remain out.

Wednesday's game marks the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The Nets swept the two-game 2020-21 season series from the Kings.
