@ Los Angeles Clippers (27-22)

 

Current odds:

Sacramento Kings: (+175)

Los Angeles Clippers: (-210)

 

• The line for the game is Los Angeles by 5 points.

• Sacramento is surprising people with its run at a spot in the top eight in the West and is trying to get the better of opponents by moving at a faster pace. Friday marked just the second time this season that the Kings won when scoring fewer than 100 points, and opponents are making a concerted effort to slow down the young team. “The scouting report on us is to stop us from running,” Fox told reporters. “Everybody has a scouting report and (against) the good teams, it doesn’t matter what you’re trying to do, they’re going to do what their identity is, what they plan on doing, and we have to be able to get to that level.”

• Los Angeles occupies the No. 8 spot in the West, one ahead of the Kings, and needed strong performances from Williams and starting small forward Tobias Harris to squeeze past the Bulls. Harris poured in 29 points on 10-of-15 shooting Friday and averaged 30 points on 22-of-34 over the last two contests – both wins – after being held to nine points on 1-of-9 shooting at Dallas on Tuesday. Williams, 32, logged his first career triple-double on Friday in his 14th season.

• Los Angeles took the first two meetings this season, including a 127-118 home win on Dec. 26.
