Kings look to end disappointing homestand on winning note
Kings (16-24) vs. Pacers (21-19)
THE PARTICULARS
Where: Golden 1 Center
When: Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.
TV/radio: CSNCA, 950, 1140
THREE KEYS
1. Big matchup: The last time these teams met Jan. 23, 2016, DeMarcus Cousins set a then-career high with 48 points. It’ll be interesting to see how often he’s matched up against Myles Turner, the versatile second-year center considered a budding star.
2. Slow the break: The Kings are on the bad end of an 85-20 margin in fast-break points over their last four games. Cutting down turnovers can help limit those chances for the Pacers.
3. Guard points: Amid talk of Ty Lawson sparking the reserves, starter Darren Collison had 21 points Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder and is averaging 16.1 points over his last eight games.
