The Portland Trail Blazers aim for their second consecutive win against the Sacramento Kings after a rough start to the season. Currently holding a 1-2 record, the Blazers face challenges with several players sidelined due to injuries.

Matisse Thybulle is expected to miss two to three weeks following a procedure on his right knee, while Shaedon Sharpe is dealing with a labral tear in his shoulder. Robert Williams III is also out with a hamstring issue, though he is making progress.
