Key Matchup:
vs 
Kaman is coming off a big career night grabbing 22 rebounds and scoring 22 points against the Bobcats very thin front line. Now Kaman has a chance to go up against another pretty thin starting front line of Shareef and Brad Miller, although Brad Miller is possibly the best play making center in the entire NBA. Miller also likes to get into the passing lanes, so when Miller does that, Kaman needs to be aware and cut his way to the basket and finish his shot.
Q's Quote:
"Clippers are coming off a huge victory over the Bobcats to end a small 3 game east coast road trip and now have 9 of 11 at home in the Staples Center. Clippers have won 10 of 12 home games so far on the season(third best in the NBA)and are hoping to add to that and there lead in the Pacific Division. A win vs the Kings will assure the Clippers another advantage to add to the standings over the teams behind them in the division as they will hold the tie breaker so far over all four teams 1-0. A pretty important game for this Clippers squad as they need all the wins possible without slasher Corey Maggette being available."
Q's Prediction: Clippers win 99-98
Q's Prediction Record: 19-5-2
