It's time for Grant's Grant's Grant. Grant's Brant is brought you by. New Works Plumbing of Sacramento for your plumbing needs and repairs. Go to NewWorksplumby.com, N-E-W, WR-X Plummy.com. New Works Plumbing, they've got a fix for you. Kings and Nuggets tonight. Denver has won four in a row. They check in with a record of seven up and two down. They've only played three road games, though, this year.

They are one and two on the road, but they are well-rested. Their last game came on Saturday night at home against the Indiana Pacers. For Sacramento, you know the story. Three wins, seven losses. As I record this, we don't know about Sabonis tonight. As of yesterday, he was listed as questionable, so we'll just wait and see as Kings

have another game tomorrow against Atlanta before heading out onto the road.

Here's the bottom line.

Doug Christie keeps talking about defense, defense, defense.

He better start practicing what he preaches in terms of defensive personnel on the

floor because what we've seen as of late is just not cutting it and it will not cut it.

This is a very good Denver Nuggets team.

We know that Nicola Yokic is one of the best, if not the best players in the NBA.

Aaron Gordon has given the King's fits and did so last week in Denver.

Jamar Murray is the real deal.

I mean, they're a good team.

A lot of people think they could come out of the West this year.

So it's going to take an A effort for Sacramento and we'll see if they have been humbled

if they've been ticked off over the last 48 hours,

and if they're ready to back up what they have been saying to the media and what their

coach has been saying to the media, that they will get it together.

They're running out of time.

You know, I know there are 72 games left.

I get that.

But they got a brutal five-game road trip coming up after the game tomorrow against Atlanta,

which will be their third game in four nights.
