Hawks Player(s) to watch: The Atlanta Hawks bench has done a solid job contributing in points this season. In the seven games played so far, the Hawks bench has only been outscored by the opposing bench once. However, they face a pretty formidable bench in Sacramento tonight.

Kings Player(s) to watch: DeMarcus Cousins is 0-3 against the Hawks in his short career, but he certainly has hurt the Hawks in those 3 games.

In their last meeting, Cousins posted an impressive 28 points and 12 rebounds for a double-double.
