The Sacramento Kings embark on a glamorous -- but certainly not ideal for a playoff contender -- two-game heavyweight homestand when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

The game pits, as you might expect, an upward-trending team that's won five of six against an in-state rival that's dropped five of seven.
But it's Sacramento that's the hotter of the two in this case, playing an improved brand of ball the Kings hope to demonstrate not only to the defending NBA champions but to another of the league's top teams -- the Milwaukee Bucks -- on Saturday night.
"We're all here to help change the Kings' culture, to get the Kings back to the playoffs," rookie Tyrese Haliburton said earlier this week.
"If we really want to do what we say we want to and change things around here, then this has got to be consistent. We're doing a really good job right now."
