| (MySportsbook) - Over the last couple seasons the scary-deep Sacramento Kings haven't needed their franchise player to carry the load. But in a supposed breakthrough year for the Kings, Chris Webber is stepping up for his battered teammates. Webber missed three games early in the season with strained lower abdominal muscles, but rushed back to provide some stability to a sagging squad. Webber has led the Kings in scoring in each of the last four games and five of the past six. Not coincidentally, Sacramento |
