Kings star De'Aaron Fox is having another incredible season, averaging 25.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. The 27-year-old point guard has been the heart of Sacramento's offense for much of the season and could be on his way to his second All-Star appearance.

The Kings did it again in a Thursday night thriller, beating the Houston Rockets 132-127 before a sellout crowd of 18,227 at Golden 1 Center and a national television audience on TNT.
