The Phoenix Suns are set to tip off against the Sacramento Kings in an Emirates NBA Cup matchup on Wednesday, Nov. 26.
The Suns (11-7) are coming off a loss to the Houston Rockets in the second game of a back-to-back played Monday night.
The Kings (5-13) have struggled this season but enter the NBA Cup game against Phoenix having won their last two games against the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves — the latter in overtime.
Kings forward Domantas Sabonis was recently diagnosed with a partially torn meniscus in his left knee and is listed as out. He’ll reportedly be reevaluated in three to four weeks.
For Phoenix, Jalen Green remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. Mark Williams missed Monday’s game in order to rest, but should be ready to go against Sacramento. Grayson Allen (quad) and Ryan Dunn (wrist) also both sat out Monday’s game and are listed as game-time decisions for Wednesday.

Suns vs Kings prediction
Phoenix looks to get back into the win column after a sluggish loss against the Kevin Durant-less Rockets Monday night.
The Suns should have Williams back to patrol the paint, but it remains unclear if Allen or Dunn will make their return from respective injuries.
The Kings have won back-to-back games against solid Western Conference opponents without Sabonis, so they shouldn’t be overlooked. That being said, Sacramento ranks in the bottom five in the NBA in both offensive and defensive rating.
With a day off to recover, the Suns should be able to pick up a necessary road win before Thanksgiving.
Prediction: Suns win 119-108
