## Resource

The Sacramento Kings are quietly positioned for another surprise run, banking on being overlooked while building around rookie phenom Darius Acuff Jr. and veteran Domantas Sabonis. With low expectations and a roster primed for growth, the Kings could defy odds once again — if Acuff’s court vision and Sabonis’s rebounding dominance click in tandem. It’s a long shot, but history shows that when teams fly under the radar, they often soar. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
