Luka Doncic scores 49 in Lakers' win, aiming to break 0-17 career streak vs. Kings, who also won, both seeking first winning streaks.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings both seek their first winning streaks of the 2025 NBA season as they meet Sunday, following wins after opening losses. Luka Doncic scored 49 points in a 128-110 Lakers victory over the Timberwolves, becoming the first player in franchise history to record back-to-back 40-point games to start a season. Doncic, who has never scored 40 in 17 career games against the Kings, aims to break that streak. The Kings edged the Jazz 105-104, with Domantas Sabonis returning from injury to post 12 points and 12 rebounds. New additions Dennis Schroder and Russell Westbrook combined for 24 points in their debut, with Westbrook lighting Sacramento’s purple beam after the win.
