Programming note: Kings-Raptors coverage starts tonight at 4:00 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet California (territory restrictions apply) and streaming live right here

The Kings will try to snap their season’s longest losing streak of six games against the Raptors after Monday’s game versus the Knicks was postponed due to inclement weather in New York.

In their last outing, the Kings fell to the Warriors 126-101 and were on the wrong side of history on Friday.

Klay Thompson scored a career-high 52 points including an NBA record for points in a quarter as the Washington State product poured in an incredible 37 points in the third quarter at Oracle Arena.

Sacramento (16-27) visits Air Canada Centre for which is now game two of four straight on the road while Toronto (30-15) has won three straight and four of its last five games, including a 104-91 win in Indiana on Tuesday.

MATCHUP TO WATCH

Darren Collison and Ben McLemore vs Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan -- Toronto has one of the best backcourts in the NBA and the Kings guards must bring their A-game.

HERENDA’S AGENDA

1) Turn the page –- Sacramento must play well early shedding the hangover of the current six game losing streak.

2) Guard play  –- Toronto gets half of its points from Lowry, DeRozan and Lou Williams. Additionally, the Raptors are fourth in the league in turnovers, thus they value the ball and do not hurt themselves.

3) Rebound –- The Kings lead the NBA in rebound margin and controlling the glass is paramount versus the Raptors. Sacramento must rebound literally and figuratively in Toronto.

INJURY UPDATE

Kings -- F Carl Landry (right wrist sprain) is questionable and F Eric Moreland (left shoulder labral tear) is out.

Raptors -- None to report.

SERIES HISTORY

The Kings and Raptors meet for the second and final time this season on Wednesday after Sacramento fell 117-109 to Toronto at Sleep Train Arena on Dec. 2.

Sacramento and Toronto split last season’s series 1-1 as each squad won at home. The Kings lead the overall series 22-14.

QUOTABLE

Kings coach Tyrone Corbin on moving past Klay Thompson’s performance:

“We have to understand what gives us a chance. We have to first of all make sure we’re ready from jump ball and be ready to play from there on, and to understand what we need to take away from different guys and how it has to be a team effort in doing that.”

Watch Insider Bill Herenda tonight offer up “Herenda’s Agenda” on Kings Pregame Live on Comcast SportsNet California.
