SAXRAMENTO -- Tonight the Kings take on the Pheonix Suns in Sacramento as part of the NBA Cup. This game won't be decided by each team's ability to hit threes, rebound, or Doug Christie's decision to not play Keon Ellis for some reason. This game is a straight matchup against Keegan Murray and the Law of Large Numbers.

The Kings are currently 5-13, despite winning their last two games with Keegan Murray's return from injury. The Suns are sitting at 11-7, fueled by Devin Booker and the Power of Friendship. The question now becomes: Can Keegan Murray overcome what seems to be impossible...the Kings winning 3 games in a row.

Every Kings fan is cautiously optimistic. Keegan Murray is a fan favorite and potential face of the franchise, but we're very aware of the reality that lies ahead. The Kings winning percentage before Murray's return was 18.75%. At that rate, the odds of them winning two games in a row is only 3.5%. Odds of them winning three? .66%. With 82 games in a season, we'd be lucky to see this team win three in a row at any point this year.

Final verdict: Can Keegan overcome the odds? Unlikely, but depressed Kings fans can dream, right?

On the bright side, you can bet the Suns moneyline at -175. Its free money, available for the taking.
