Previous Encounter:
In their first clash on Jan. 5, the Kings secured a hard-fought 135-130 victory over the Raptors.

The Kings head into this matchup fresh off an overtime win against the Memphis Grizzlies, eager to kickstart a winning streak and maintain their position in the competitive Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Raptors find themselves on a seven-game losing streak, with only one win in their last 10 games. The absence of key player Scottie Barnes has further hampered Toronto's prospects for securing quality wins amidst their rebuilding phase.
