The set-up: The 4-5 Sacramento Kings lost last night in the second-half of TNT's doubleheader, 101-91 at home to the improving LA Lakers. The Kings travel up the coast tonight to take on the 5-4 Portland Trail Blazers, who are coming off their worst performance of the season, a 111-80 beat down by the Clippers Wednesday night at Staples Center. The Blazers trailed 36-16 after one quarter, 50-18 midway through the second quarter and 93-45 late in the third quarter. "We got our (butt) whooped," said PG Damian Lillard, who made 1 of 10 shots from the field and had only one assist in 28 minutes
Sacramento: PG Darren Collison was suspended for the season's first eight games after pleading guilty to misdemeanor domestic battery. He had nine points and four assists while playing 28 minutes off the bench to help the Kings beat New Orleans 102-94 on Tuesday and a modest six points (on 2 of 11 shooting) in last night's loss. He could be in the starting lineup for the first time on Friday at the Moda Center against Trail Blazers. Center DeMarcus Cousins scored 28 points against the Lakers for his eighth 20-point outing of the campaign and has his own theory for why Sacramento collapsed over the latter half of the contest. "How can I say this?" Cousins told reporters before pausing. "Played a little more tender, I guess you could say."
Portland: The Blazers' loss in LA on Wednesday was a total embarrassment with the team's outstanding guard duo of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum each scoring just eight points. That followed the duo combining for 71 points the night before in a 124-121 win over Phoenix. Expect Lillard (30.0-5.1-4.2) and McCollum (21.2-4.8-2.8) to bounce back here.
The pick: The Trail Blazers went 4-0 against the Kings last season and have won the past six meetings. So far in the young season, Portland is averaging 111.8 PPG at home but allowing 116.5. It should come as no surprise that all four previous home games have gone over the total and therefore no surprise when this one does the same, as well. The Over is a 10* play.
