SACRAMENTO -- Looking for a bounceback game, the Sacramento Kings host a tough Indiana Pacers club Saturday evening at Golden 1 Center. The Kings have dropped three-straight and fallen below .500 at 10-11 on the season.
Sacramento will likely be without the services of rookie Marvin Bagley III, who missed most of the fourth quarter of the Kings' loss to the Jazz on Sunday due to back spasms. He made an appearance at shootaround and will get treatment throughout the day, but he is a game-time decision.
The Pacers are coming off a tough loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday and sit at 13-9 on the season. All-Star guard Victor Oladipo will miss his seventh-straight game with a sore right knee and Domantas Sabonis is questionable with a back issue.

Rotation Outlook
Kings: Following the Kings' loss to the Jazz on Sunday, coach Dave Joerger announced that the team plans to use Bogdan Bogdanovic as the team's reserve point guard in a three-guard lineup with De'Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield.
With Bagley questionable, veteran big man Kosta Koufos is available to play after sitting out the last eight games with a calf injury. If Bagley can't play, expect fellow rookie Harry Giles III to see an increase in court time.
Pacers: Coach Nate McMillan runs a tight nine-man rotation with the Pacers. Due to injury, he starts a pair of former Kings in Tyreke Evans and Darren Collison in the backcourt. If Sabonis can't play, Kyle O'Quinn or T.J. Leaf might get a longer look.
Indiana has a versatile roster that plays a hard-nosed style. They hold their opponents to the lowest scoring average in the league and boast the third-best defensive rating in the Association.
