Portland beat Sacramento 128-120 to move to 2-0. The Blazers trailed 64-59 at halftime after making 4 of 22 threes, then opened the third quarter on a 15-0 run and made 8 of 19 threes in the quarter. Deni Avdija had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Damian Lillard and Toumani Camara scored 19 each. Domantas Sabonis cut it to 121-118 with a three at 3:21, but Portland held on. Rookie Darius Acuff Jr. scored 33 for the Kings, Sabonis had 27 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists and Zach LaVine 22. Sacramento are 0-2.

Fantasy angleAcuff Jr. (33) should be rostered everywhere; Sabonis' triple-double is his usual floor.
