When the Sacramento Kings take the floor to play against the Los Angeles Clippers tonight, which three players from the purple and white need to have a good game for them to be successful?

Christmas Day is now over. But at least it means that the Sacramento Kings will be on the hardwood once again, this time to play against the Los Angeles Clippers in the Staples Center. This NBA season has been filled with a ton of surprises, but maybe the two biggest shockers have been the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Clippers.

Prior to the season, the Kings were projected to finish the year in the basement of the NBA standings, but currently, they are the eighth seed in the Western Conference with a record of 18-15. As for the Clippers, many expected them to compete for a playoff spot only to end up short, but they are also in the playoff picture as their 19-14 record has them in the sixth seed in the West.

Tonight’s game is critical for both teams due to their season records. For the Kings, they are currently a game behind the Clippers, so a Sacramento win here would have both teams with matching records once the game is over.

In order for the Kings to make ground in the standings, they need to play well as a collective whole, but there are some players on their roster that need to bring their A-game no matter what.

So with that being said, let us jump into the slideshow displaying which three players on the Kings need to have a good game in order for their team to beat the Clippers tonight.
