Kings host division-rival Clippers

Basketball Betting Lines

04/08/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of Western Conference also-rans get together tonight in California's capital, as the Sacramento Kings resume a five-game homestand versus the Los Angeles Clippers at ARCO Arena.

Both Pacific Division rivals enter Thursday's matchup riding extensive slides, with the Kings hoping to put the brakes on an eight-game skid against a Clippers squad riding a six-game losing streak.

Sacramento has lost the first two installments of its current homestand and is coming off Tuesday's 95-86 setback to the San Antonio Spurs. Rookie sensation Tyreke Evans finished with 22 points, nine boards and six assists for the Kings, who have lost five in row at home and fell to 17-21 as the host. Carl Landry chipped in 20 points and Donte Greene tallied 12 off the bench.

"Fourth quarter again. (Manu) Ginobili got hot, and we have to always know where he's at. We did a pretty good job on him throughout the game until the fourth quarter," said Greene, who is averaging 11.7 ppg in his last three off the bench. "They kind of got us in the fourth quarter, but other than that we had a lot of good things."

The Kings will also welcome the Mavericks and Rockets to town on the residency before wrapping up the 2009-10 season against the Lakers in Hollywood on April 13. Evans, meanwhile, is averaging 14.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists over his last four games since missing five contests because of a concussion. He is trying to become only the fourth player in NBA history to average 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in his rookie season (LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson).

Los Angeles aims to get back into the win column tonight and just dropped both contests in a two-game homestand, including Wednesday's 93-85 setback versus the Portland Trail Blazers at Staples Center.

Rasual Butler, Chris Kaman and Steve Blake each scored 14 points for the Clippers, who got 11 points and eight assists from Baron Davis. Drew Gooden added 10 points in a losing effort.

"We didn't shoot the ball as well as we needed to in the second half," said Clippers head coach Kim Hughes. "We had our typical high volume of turnovers, but I liked our effort."

Since the All-Star break Kaman is averaging 15.4 ppg, while Butler is posting 14.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists over that period.

The Clippers have dropped three in a row on the road and own an 8-32 mark as the visitor this season. After tonight's tilt against the Kings, Los Angeles will close out the season with a three-game homestand versus the Warriors, Mavs and Lakers.

Sacramento leads the 2009-10 series with LA by a 2-1 margin and has won six of the previous eight matchups between the teams. The Clips have dropped four straight and 21 of 23 trips to ARCO Arena.
