The Kings are facing an uphill battle when they battle against the Rockets in Houston on January 13th. This is a situation of both squads restructuring for the long run as both squads look nothing like their early 2000′s heydays. The Kings look to get back to their past prominence in the west with stellar play from their young stalwarts. The Rockets are still coping with the after effects from the retirement of Yao Ming. The Rockets are liked by 3 points by the oddsmakers and this wants to be a hard game to call.

Sacramento is paced by G Marcus Thornton and PG Tyreke Evans, which supply a young core for the Kings to develop on. The frontcourt is boosted by PF DeMarcus Cousins and his steady play. The Kings are furthermore helped by the expert presence of SG John Salmons coming off the sideline as a deep menace. Former Indiana Hoosier great Keith Smart coaches the Kings.

The Rockets look significantly different from the times of Yao Ming and Steve Francis running the show. Young PG Kyle Lowry runs the offense with the help of PF Luis Scola and PG Goran Dragic. Veterans help the Houston offense with fellow SG’s Courtney Lee and Kevin Martin contributing when they are able to. Former Celtics great Kevin McHale leads the Rockets at head coach.


Only not too long ago, this contest might have been all over tv with competitors such as Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac, Chris Webber, and Bobby Jackson pacing the Kings. The Rockets had Yao Ming, Steve Francis, Robert Horry, and also Tracy McGrady behind them. The times have definitely transformed things for both squads as the day of free agency and salary caps have made long-term dynasties practically obsolete.
This should be an amazing contest between these two once-mighty teams with the game itself too tight to call.
