The Dallas Mavericks host the Sacramento Kings as they bid to get into the play-offs. They have a 36-27 season record and that has them fifth overall in the Western Conference. The fact that they are the leaders of the Southwest Division has them ahead of the LA Lakers (who the Mavericks beat on April 23), also on 36-27. They have a four win advantage over the Memphis Grizzlies in their division so with nine games left of the regular season, they're looking good to win that division. Their current form is strong with four wins in the last five, the only loss being away to the Kings on April 27. The Mavericks have an 18-14 home record this season and four of the last five have been won.

The Sacramento Kings are 12th in the Western Conference and struggling to get into the play-ins. They have a season record of 26-37 and are five wins behind San Antonio Spurs in tenth and from a game more. The Kings are bottom of the Pacific Division and likely to stay there. They are six wins behind the Golden State Warriors. Recent form has seen them win three of their last five matches. One of the losses was a 154-105 defeat at Utah Jazz on Thursday. On the road, the Kings have a 12-19 record and did beat the Mavericks in April. The home side look in good form though and know how important a win will be at this time of the season, so go for them to get some revenge and a win.
