Clippers Have Fantastic History in Sacramento
The Los Angeles Clippers love visiting their interstate rivals in Sacramento, as the Clips have won eight straight games in the capital city of California. The Kings will look to halt that skid when the squads collide in Friday’s NBA action.
It’s becoming a theme in Sacramento for DeMarcus Cousins to have huge nights and his team take a loss regardless. In the last meeting between the clubs on November 18, Cousins put up 38 points but the Kings fell to the Clips 121-115.
After missing four games with a hamstring injury, Clippers star point guard Chris Paul is expected to suit up in the contest. L.A. went 2-2 SU and ATS in his absence.
Sacramento small forward Rudy Gay is expected to sit out once again in this one. Gay has missed 11 of the team’s last 12 tilts due to a nagging hip injury.
