dubs also missing a couple of players for tonight's match up with the kings. >> our first kate rooney live for such a center with more on that. kate. hey, grant hit vicky. yeah. a lot of professional sports leagues right now are dealing with some covid-19 issues. the warriors in the nba. >> are no exception. the warriors are coming off that loss to toronto steph curry and draymond green missed that game. it was just a rest day for them. andrew wiggins missed it as well with knee soreness and now he's out for tonight's game. that's for a different reason. it's because he is in the league's health and safety protocols. wiggins is going to need 2 negative tests back to back within 24 hours apart to graduate from those protocols. also, jordan poole is in the protocols right now. so he's gonna miss tonight's game as well. got to do a lot of shuffling when it comes to personnel. however, curry and green will be back after sitting out that are on a loss and they're facing a sacramento squad. that's pretty depleted, too. the kings are without their leading score de'aaron fox

know davion mitchell for them. no. marvin bagley, the 3rd others out tonight as well. so a lot of challenges for both teams tonight. here's what steve kerr had to say about dealing with those before the game. >> we have map out rotations. you think about combinations. you don't worry too much about the opponent because they're doing the same thing. you know, you worry more about yourself so the what we've done today is just gone over possible combinations and. actions that we might want to run that, that we feel would be good for for certain groups. and then it's all about defense getting stops, especially against sacramento. they're excellent offensive team in. and so we've we've got to got to be really solid defensively get stops and get out and run. >> if anyone's got a plan for challenges like these, you know, its steve kerr, right. the warriors are 12 3 in western conference play so far this season. they've already

beaten the kings once that was really early on in the season. they've got a couple more matches of them coming up this season as part of their divisional matchups this season, the kings are last right now in that subdivision. so in theory, this is one of the warriors should be able to run away with an tip time here tonight at chase center is 7 o'clock grant. vicki, back to you. yeah, kate, it's covid taught us anything. it's kind of zig and zag constantly. >> all right. thank you, kate. thanks, kate. coming up next for news. the nintendo switch is one of the hottest holiday items in its recently had an upgrade when we come back, we'll tell you what's new with this season's model in this season's model in tonight's tech smart. the classic hollywood story. we meet the hero, the all-new nissan frontier hero faces seemingly impossible challenge. tension builds... the plot twist the hero prevails in hollywood, this would be the end.

where's the other one just had a very maybe an inch wide stand to help it. >> a widely not really want to trust when you know the face out there. overall switch is best for casual gamers. there's no 4 k graphics, but it's fun for the whole family and worth the extra $50 to lead over the original that is expecting a big, you know, 4 k machine gun can do with the playstation x box. but honestly came really impressed after hands on. >> right now with tight supply and high demand. we're not seeing any discounts on the lead. so be prepared to pay full price on that if you do see a bundle discount that is typically being offered for the original switch. if you want to learn more about the let go to my website. it is rich on tech dot tv. i'm rich demuro and you are tech smart. >> and that wraps up kron 4 news at 5. appreciate you being with us this hour. keep it here, though. a lot more news to come on. kron 4 news at 6. pam moore and ken wayne, our here with that and
