Tip-off is listed for 3:00 p.m. PT (6:00 p.m. ET) on Sunday, March 22 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento according to the NBA game page. (nba.com) The game will air on YES and NBC Sports California, with radio coverage carried on Sactown Sports 1140 AM. (netswire.usatoday.com) Sacramento enters the matchup at 18-53 while Brooklyn is shown at 17-53 in the standings, a gap SI describes as roughly a half-game that matters for third-best lottery positioning. (espn.com) Those lottery stakes are amplified by the fact these clubs meet twice in the remainder of the season (March 22 and March 29), and Sacramento also faces New Orleans on April 3 — all three games SI lists as pivotal for the Kings’ draft lottery hopes. (si.com) Social uploads on X captured the Nets’ charter arrival in Sacramento the afternoon before the game, with two separate posts showing the team’s flight touchdown and disembarkation. (x.com) Brooklyn has dropped six straight games and is 2-7 in March, while league rules require both teams’ injury/designation reports to be filed by 5 p.m. local time the day before the matchup (check the official NBA injury report for final statuses).
