Los Angeles, CA (My Sportsbook) - The Sacramento Kings try for their third straight win when they travel to Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Clippers. Sacramento has won five of its last six games and is coming off a 111-98 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Bobby Jackson and Doug Christie scored 22 points apiece, and Chris Webber chipped in with 18. "We got a lot out of looking at what we did wrong and then fixing it tonight," Jackson said. "I liked a lot of the things we did tonight. We know what our downfall will be, and we avoided it. It looked like we learned our lesson from the last few games." The Kings are just 2-4 on the road, but have a 4-1 mark within the Western Conference. Los Angeles is coming off a 99-89 victory over the Golden State Warriors that snapped a three-game slide. Michael Olowokandi scored 24 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, while Elton Brand added 17 points to the victory. "I was slow coming out of the block, but once I recognized what they were doing, we made an effort to get it inside and get short, easy shots," Olowokandi said. "Whenever you have a balanced attack, it's difficult for teams to stay with you. We changed some things, and we got a lot more open looks." The Clippers are just 1-4 in their own edifice and have a 1-3 mark within the Western Conference. The Kings have won three straight and nine of the last 11 meetings in the series. Sacramento has an 85-59 edge in the all-time series. |
