The Utah Jazz play host to the Sacramento Kings at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Saturday.

The Kings (0-2) were a surprise team last season but they've regressed so far this year. A 29-point home loss in the opener to the Phoenix Suns is obviously a distressing sign but they followed that up with another double-digit defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. Allowing at least 120 points in both games is really discouraging but committing 44 combined turnovers in those games is equally as disturbing. These young pieces have a lot of thinking to do and things will only get tougher with Marvin Bagley out for the next 4-6 weeks due to a hand fracture. It's time for De'Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield to take over and get this team out of this slump.

The Jazz (1-1) have been far from impressive in their first two games. A 100-95 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder wasn't quite what fans were looking for in the opener and it was followed up by a 95-86 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. The offense has really struggled to find its way early on and that's a really unfortunate sign after slumping on that end of the floor last season. Mike Conley was supposed to come in and fix all of that but he's been struggling worse than anyone. In fact, the star point guard is just 4-of-27 from the field in his first two games combined but better days are surely ahead for both Conley and the Jazz.

Utah has dominated this series over recent years, winning eight of their last nine games over the Kings.
