  • Sixers coach Doug Collins, on the matchup against Sacramento: “This is a game where you’ve got to very disciplined, make them work defensively.”
  • Kings center DeMarcus Cousins  is ninth in the NBA in rebounding — 10.1 per game. But Cousins has gone four straight games with a double-double.
  • Sacramento is 12-12 at home but 5-18 on the road.
