Anthony Slater: The 1-6 Kings become the last NBA team to get first win. Beat the Mavericks in Dallas tonight, temporarily easing early season angst. Darius Acuff had 25 points, closed with strong 4Q. Malik Monk came to life with 24 off the bench. They return home to face Lakers, Spurs.

Grant Afseth: Final: Kings 115, Mavs 100 Daniel Gafford: 20 PTS, 7 REB, 1 STL, 1 BLK Walter Clayton Jr.: 20 PTS, 1 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL Cooper Flagg: 17 PTS, 4 REB, 6 AST, 2 STL Darius Acuff Jr.: 25 PTS, 5 REB, 6 AST, 1 STL Malik Monk: 24 PTS, 1 REB, 7 AST, 1 BLK Zach LaVine: 23 PTS, 4 REB, 1 AST Dallas (4-3) faces San Antonio on Wednesday.

Sean Cunningham: Ben Simmons will make his debut with Kings tonight in San Francisco. Sacramento will be without Domantas Sabonis, Malik Monk & Dylan Cardwell

James Ham: Scott Perry is trying to send out players and salary. He's trying to improve the team while making these adjustments, which is its own tall task, and there's a possibility that Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine and Malik Monk are all gone before the dust settles, right? Before we get through all of free agency, or before we get to full-fledged Summer League, or we get to the end of July. All of those players could be gone.
The Kings have upgraded Malik Monk (personal reasons) to available for Sunday’s game against LA Clippers.
