The Los Angeles Clippers have been in a bit of a funk this week, but they're the healthier team here with the best player on the floor, and that should be good enough. The Sacramento Kings have the majority of their list on the injury report for whatever reason, and they're losing their last five games by an average of 7.2 points. With no Fox, Holmes and others, it's hard to get behind the Kings against respectable opponents. The Clippers should roll here.
