The Sacramento Kings have lost four of their last six, and they come in to Los Angeles tonight off a home win over the Jazz last night. The Lakers have lost three straight, but this looks like a rare opportunity for them to pick up a win at home against the undermanned Kings.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. DeMarcus Cousins - He's sidelined indefinitely with viral meningitis. It's a huge blow for the Kings, as he had been having a breakout season prior to falling ill.

2. Fatigue - This will be not only the Kings second game in as many nights, but their fourth game in five nights.

3. X-Factor - The Kings are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 vs. NBA Pacific, and 0-6 in their last six versus the Lakers.

Selection: This is a play on the L.A. Lakers (10*)
