Domantas Sabonis had a double-double by halftime, De'Aaron Fox finished with one of his own and the Sacramento Kings rolled to a comfortable 123-100 home win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night.

Sabonis recorded his league-leading 37th double-double with a game-high 29 points and a game-high 18 rebounds for the Kings, who won for the ninth time in their last 10 games.

Fox chipped in with 12 points and a game-high 13 assists in his seventh double-double of the year.

Sabonis had 18 of his points and 11 of his rebounds in the first half, during which Sacramento got the jump on a Wizards team playing for the second time in two nights. The Kings led by as many as 11 in the first quarter and 14 in the second en route to a 62-48 halftime advantage.

In losing for the 10th straight time, the Wizards never got closer than 10 in the third period, yet hung within 102-91 with 7:11 remaining in the game before Sabonis dropped in a five-footer, DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray threw down dunks, and DeRozan added a 20-footer in an 8-0 burst that broke the game open for good.

Sabonis went 12-for-16 from the field, helping Sacramento outshoot Washington 48.4 percent to 36 percent.

DeRozan finished with 24 points, Malik Monk 23 and Keon Ellis 18 for the Kings, who entered the game fresh, having been off the previous two days. Ellis did all his scoring on 6-for-8 accuracy from beyond the 3-point arc.

Backup Jonas Valanciunas topped the Wizards in both points with 23 and rebounds with 12, hitting nine of his 11 shots off the bench.

Coming off a 38-point explosion Saturday night at Golden State, Jordan Poole connected on just four of his 11 shots and three of his nine 3-point attempts en route to 11 points.

Bilal Coulibaly also had 11 points for Washington, while Kyle Kuzma put up 13 to go with seven rebounds and Corey Kispert 14 off the bench.

Rookie Alex Sarr had six points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes.
