T.M. Selection: Kings.

The Clippers are not only coming back from a hard-fought comeback win over the Knicks Friday, they face a surging Kings team that is playing with double revenge here. Sacramento has lost both games with the Clippers this season and is out for revenge in this one. The Kings are right behind the Clippers in the standings. Sacramento is 5-1 SU L6 games and the only loss was by just 6 points. The Clippers have won B2B games but this followed losses in 6 of 7 games. LA, in the B2B wins, was only up by 1 point against the Knicks entering the 4th and 2 points on the Pistons entering the 4th. They managed to pull away late in the 4th in both games but they face a much different challenge here as this Kings team is starting to jell and playing some of its best basketball of the season. This will be a payback game for Sacramento and the points are a solid value in case the Kings fall just short.

T.M. Prediction: 112-108 Kings
