Los Angeles Lakers (20-11) at Sacramento Kings (14-15)
10:35 pm Eastern
TNT
Opening Line: Kings - 4
The Los Angeles Lakers will play the Sacramento Kings tonight without another starter as Kwame Brown will be out for at least several weeks with a sprained ankle. The Lakers are already without forward Lamar Odom. Andrew Bynum is expected to start in place of Brown. "Obviously, we're going to be missing a huge punch inside, so guys will have to step up and meet that challenge and plug in that void," guard Kobe Bryant said. "Defensively is where Kwame really gives us a big charge, because he's so versatile and quick and can cover a lot of small players." Even with Lamar and Kwame sitting out tonight, reports from SBG Global tell us that early money is still going on the Lakers plus the points.
Kobe has been carrying the load lately for the Lakers. He had 35 points on 15-of-22 shooting with eight rebounds and six assists on Sunday. That followed a season-high 58-point performance in a loss to Charlotte on Friday. Kobe was the Western Conference player of the month for December. He averaged 36.3 points against the Kings last season as the teams split four meetings. This is the first meeting between the two teams this year. The Lakers have dropped six of their last seven games in Sacramento
The Kings have won four of their last five and Ron Artest had a career-high 39 points Tuesday to lead them to a 112-100 victory over the New York Knicks. "Finally," said Artest. "You just have to stay with it, stay focused. A lot of people have been saying I couldn't shoot the ball. I had a bad year or a bad season (shooting), but I figured I would come around. I've been working hard. Things just haven't been going my way." The Kings are also getting superb play out of guard Mike Bibbly who is averaging 21.8 points in his last four games. The Kings are 10-7 at Arco Arena this season and are looking for their fourth straight home win.
