Attack From Beyond The Arc For a Kings team that has mostly lived and died by the long-ball this season, the plan of attack for Tuesday’s game won’t be a surprise. Los Angeles has struggled to defend the three this season–especially since the NBA All-Star break. Over the Clippers past 21 games, they have allowed opponents to shoot 40.3 percent on 35.3 attempts from three-point range. This season, Sacramento holds a 32-11 record (.744) when shooting 35 percent or higher from deep. When shots are falling from beyond the arc, good things happen for the Kings, as was the case during Sunday’s win over the Jazz (20-of-40). While Los Angeles has struggled to contain the three this year, they have found success against Sacramento during three previous matchups. The Kings have converted just 33 percent of their attempts from deep against the Clippers this season, the third-lowest three-point percentage against Los Angeles’ defense this season (minimum three head-to-head games). If you believe in due, Sacramento is due to break through against a Clippers defense that has allowed opponents to shoot nearly 43 percent (.427) from three over the past 15 games. Can’t leave HB that open pic.twitter.com/cEtnCtJdcn — Kings on NBCS (@NBCSKings) April 1, 2024 More From Murray & HB A large reason why the Kings were able to find success on the offensive end during Sunday’s win was due to Keegan Murray (25 points on 5/12 3PT) and Harrison Barnes (24 points on 5/7 3pt), who scored 20+ points during the same game for the first time this season. Good things happen for Sacramento when Murray and Barnes have been largely involved in the offense this season:
- The Kings this season when Murray scores 20+ points: 12-5 (.705)
- The Kings this season when Barnes scores 15+ points: 18-5 (.782)

Is De’Aaron Fox due for a big game? Sure, the Kings will need more from the supporting cast to have a better chance of making noise in the postseason, but De’Aaron Fox is still the motor that makes Sacramento go. Fox hasn’t had his usual offensive punch in recent weeks, as the All-NBA guard is averaging 22.9 points per game on 42 percent shooting from the field over his past 12 contests. A matchup against the Clippers could ignite Fox, who has enjoyed playing against Los Angeles over the past two seasons: Fox since the start of last season vs. LAC (7 games): 30.3 PTS | 5.3 REB | 5.7 AST | 1.4 STL | 55% FG | 4-3 record In two of the three matchups against the Clippers this season, Fox has scored 33 points or more, including a 40-point outing on November 29th at Golden 1 Center. If Fox, who has scored 30+ points in a game just once March 8th, is due for a breakout game, Tuesday is as good a time as any. Kings vs. Clippers Injury Report Sacramento
