While the Sacramento Kings might have experienced some ups and downs in the preseason, Tyreke Evans and company did also show some positive developments in the last few weeks. Most importantly, fifth overall pick DeMarcus Cousins has been playing very well at both ends of the floor, averaging 14.3 points and 8.0 rebounds in just 25 minutes per contest. Thus, the Sacramento Kings will face Brook Lopez and the New Jersey Nets on Friday at 11 p.m. GMT.

Even though the Nets might not be able to make a leap to the playoffs in this year's NBA campaign, the team around Brook Lopez appears to be overdue for a significant improvement nonetheless. More precisely, the franchise from the tri-state area hired coach Avery Johnson in the off-season as well as acquiring several role players and third overall pick Derrick Favors. Likewise, All-Star guard Devin Harris is finally back on the court and should help the team to bounce back after posting a horrendous 12-70 record in 2009-10. Therefore, the Nets will be highly motivated to open the season with a victory when the Kings are in town on Friday night.
