What to Know

Having just played yesterday, the Sacramento Kings will head out on the road to face off against the Los Angeles Clippers at 10:30 p.m. ET on December 12th at Crypto.com Arena. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard on Tuesday.

The matchup between the Kings and the Nets on Monday hardly resembled the 101-96 effort from their previous meeting. Sacramento walked away with a 131-118 victory over Brooklyn. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Kings.

The Kings' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Malik Monk led the charge by scoring 21 points along with nine assists. Keegan Murray was another key contributor, scoring 24 points.

Meanwhile, the Clippers scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Monday. They secured a 132-127 W over Portland. The win was nothing new for the Clippers as they're now sitting on four straight.

Kawhi Leonard was the offensive standout of the matchup as he scored 34 points along with six rebounds and five assists.

Sacramento is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 13-8 record this season. As for Los Angeles, they pushed their record up to 12-10 with that victory, which was their third straight at home.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Kings haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 13 turnovers per game. However, it's not like the Clippers struggle in that department as they've been averaging only 12.5 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

The Kings are hoping to beat the odds on Tuesday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. Those brave souls putting their money on Los Angeles against the spread have faith in an upset since their 9-13 ATS record can't hold a candle to Sacramento's 12-9.
