-----------------------

Bad news is that the Blazers are on the road tonight riding a 2 game losing streak. The good news is that they're playing the 15-43 Sacramento Kings.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
Per doctor's orders, Brandon Roy will not play in back-to-back games.

STRATEGY
The only thing the Kings do particularly well is rebound, so the Blazers' two big men (Marcus Camby and LaMarcus Aldridge) will both need to have big nights on the glass for the Blazers to win.

The Kings on paper:
Starting five: Jason Thompson, Omri Casspi, Samuel Dalembert, Beno Udrih, Jermaine Taylor
Off the bench: Darnell Jackson, Eugene Jeter, Donte Greene, Marcus Thornton, DeMarcus Cousins
