With Sabonis limited to 12 minutes, Monk (28 points), Zach LaVine (23) and DeMar DeRozan (22) led the way against the Grizzlies.

Sixty-eight games into the season, the Kings will be seeing the Cavaliers for the first time. The clubs will meet in a rematch in Cleveland in Game 78 on April 6.

While Sacramento is just settling into a homestand, Cleveland opened a five-game Western swing with a 132-119 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday.

After completing the back-to-back, the Cavaliers will also see the Suns, Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers before heading home.

Cleveland (56-12), the runaway leader in the Eastern Conference, began the Tuesday contest in impressive fashion, running up 45 first-quarter points against the Clippers.

However, the Cavaliers added only 28 and 29 in the middle two periods, and when they got outscored 26-17 in the fourth quarter, they had just their third losing streak of the year.

Cleveland has dropped two games in a row, one game short of its season-worst skid, which occurred in late January.

Playing in California for the first time since they represented the franchise at the All-Star Game in San Francisco, Donovan Mitchell (18 points), Darius Garland (17) and Evan Mobley (17) combined for 52 points in the loss to the Clippers. Max Strus put up a season-high 24 points.

Los Angeles made 54.8 percent of its shots from the floor, including 16 of 35 (45.7 percent) from 3-point range.
