### Sacramento Kings vs Chicago Bulls Preview

The Kings have faced a challenging early-season schedule, with their lone win coming by a single point against the Utah Jazz. Their losses have been close, suggesting a lack of a finishing punch: a six-point defeat to the Phoenix Suns in the opener, followed by a seven-point loss to the LA Lakers and a six-point loss to the OKC Thunder in a three-day span.

Sacramento ranks 10th in defensive rating but sits sixth worst offensively. They now face their third game in four days against the Bulls, one of two remaining undefeated teams in the Eastern Conference.

Chicago has established a clear identity early in the season, boasting the second-best defensive rating behind the defending champion Thunder. The Bulls feature six players averaging double digits in scoring: Nikola Vucevic, Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu, Kevin Huerter, Matas Buzelis, and Tre Jones.

As of the 1:30 a.m. injury report, the Bulls have listed Zach Collins and Coby White as out. The Kings have yet to release their injury report.
