With the Sacramento Kings hosting the Los Angeles Clippers tonight, what are the three things to watch for during the contest?

The Sacramento Kings are back in action tonight as they will host the Los Angeles Clippers in their fabulous Golden 1 Center. Not only will Sacramento be playing against a formidable opponent in Los Angeles, but this game will be televised by TNT for everyone in the country to see.

For Sacramento, a win is greatly needed for them. They have lost their last two games which now has them at a record of 10-10. Even though the purple and white have surprised the NBA world so far, they are hoping to continue with their solid run and remain in the playoff picture.

As for the Clippers, they have also been a surprise in the NBA as well. Not many expected them to be a top-tier team in the Western Conference, but currently, they have a record of 14-6 and are the first seed in the West. Players like Tobias Harris, Danilo Gallinari, and Lou Williams have led the way for the Clippers. And of course, having a head coach like Doc Rivers helps as well.

Tonight’s game will be a treat for the national audience. Both the Kings and Clippers have been exciting this year and I am sure they are hoping to keep proving the doubters wrong. A win on TNT would definitely give the victor more respect around the league.

With that being said, enjoy this slideshow which will showcase the three things to focus on when one is watching this primetime matchup.
