The Sacramento Kings got back on the winning track Monday in Brooklyn, avoiding their third straight loss against the lowly Nets and getting De’Aaron Fox to snap out of his recent slump.

Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox explode for massive games to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 110-96 win over the Brooklyn Nets

De’Aaron Fox broke out of his slump in style – and possibly in pain as well. In a game that the Kings were neck and neck in, Fox proved to be the difference by providing a big spark in the third quarter when he scored 18 points to guide Sacramento to a 110-96 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday at Barclays Center.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Kings are expected to open talks for All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox ahead of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline. The San Antonio Spurs have been rumored as a preferred destination for Fox with significant mutual interest from both sides, according to Forbes NBA reporter Evan Sidery.

If the Sacramento Kings want to make a deadline deal with the Utah Jazz, they will have to play ball with Danny Ainge.

The Kings have been led by star big man Domantas Sabonis during their hot streak, who is putting together another All-Star-caliber season. Other players like DeMar DeRozan, Keon Ellis, and Keegan Murray have stepped up tremendously, especially as All-Star point guard De'Aaron Fox battles through injuries.
