Oakland, CA (My Sportsbook) - The Sacramento Kings seek their third straight win when they travel to Oakland to take on the Golden State Warriors. Sacramento has not fared well on the road this season, posting just a single win in four attempts. The Kings are coming off a 105-97 home win over the Atlanta Hawks. Chris Webber wore a black glove with a protective plastic piece to guard a sore right hand. The gadget didn't seem to hamper his shooting ability, as Webber made 13 of 24 shots and scored 27 points for the Kings. "I still feel I'm missing a lot of jumpers," Webber said. "Shooting is so much about feel. It's like having a glove on and trying to touch someone's face. It's hard to feel anything." Doug Christie awakened from the doldrums of a scoreless first half and finished with 19 points and eight rebounds in the Kings' victory. "Doug was terrific," Kings coach Rick Adelman said. "He was all over the court, getting loose balls, rebounding and he really shot the ball well in the second half." Golden State snapped a six-game slide with a 108-101 victory over the woeful Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. Antawn Jamison scored 37 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the victory. Despite his team's win and a strong individual effort, Jamison wasn't happy. His team nearly blew a 100-82 lead with just more than three minutes left. "It's something we've really got to work on," Jamison said. "We did such a phenomenal job of having an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter. That's unheard of unless you're the Lakers or someone like that." The Kings have won 10 straight and 11 of the last 12 meetings between the teams. Sacramento has won five straight at Golden State. The Kings lead the all-time series 112-105.
