The LA Clippers will stay home tonight and face off against the Sacramento Kings in their fourth preseason game.

After an unimpressive 1-2 start to the 2017-2018 preseason, the LA Clippers will look to rebound against the Sacramento Kings. The Kings have been equally mediocre, currently standing at 1-3 with blowout losses to the San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers. And while their defense has been a bright spot, their offense has looked abysmal. How abysmal, you might ask? Well, they’re only scoring a mere 87.8 points per game. And while it is just preseason basketball, there should be some concerns for the current Sacramento squad.

On the other hand, the Clippers have looked the opposite. They’re putting up 105.7 points per game, but allowing 113. Inconsistency has really been the story here, though. After holding the Raptors to just 84 points a few nights ago, Portland hung 134 on our guys.

LA should have a good shot at a victory over the Kings, but injuries could hold them back.  Here are a few key things to look for in tonight’s contest.
