DeMar DeRozan, Malik Monk and Domantas Sabonis were sidelined for Sacramento, and Taylor Hendricks and Walker Kessler did not play for the Jazz.

Takeaways Jazz: With John Collins scoring 16, the Jazz had five players score at least that many in a game for the first time this season.

Kings: Fox made his first seven shots from the floor, including three 3-pointers in the first quarter. By halftime, he had 26 points.

Key moment The Kings trailed 89-78 in the third quarter but took a 118-116 lead on a Jordan McLaughlin 3-pointer with 1:04 remaining.

Key stat Both teams shot basically the same percentage from 3-point range. The Kings made 19 of 41 shots, or 46.3%, from beyond the arc. The Jazz shot 12 for 26, or 46.2%.

Up next The Kings host the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, while the Jazz continue their five-game trip against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.
