(My Sportsbook) - The surging Atlanta Hawks will try to stay perfect on their current homestand tonight when they welcome the lowly Sacramento Kings to Philips Arena.

Atlanta has won the first five tests of this seven-game residency and improved to 25-7 at home with a 98-80 drubbing of the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Joe Johnson led the way with 35 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Hawks, who are seeded fourth in the Eastern Conference. Johnson has scored 30 or more points in four straight games.

Josh Smith finished with 19 points and eight rebounds, while Mike Bibby and Al Horford netted 15 and 13 points, respectively, in a winning cause. Atlanta will also welcome the Dallas Mavericks to town on the homestand.

Sacramento will resume a four-game road trip Tuesday and has lost three in a row overall, including Sunday's 106-104 setback at Washington in the opener of the trek.

Kevin Martin scored 24 points and Andres Nocioni added 16 points for the Kings, who got 20 points and nine rebounds from Spencer Hawes. Jason Thompson chipped in 14 points and 14 boards, and Francisco Garcia posed 11 points in defeat.

The Kings, who are 0-26 against the East this season, will also visit Charlotte and New York on the road swing, and sport just a 4-29 record as the visitor this season.

Atlanta defeated Sacramento, 105-100, on February 18 this season at ARCO Arena and has won two straight and three of the past four matchups. The Kings, though, are 12-4 in the previous 16 contests in the series but have dropped 15 of their last 19 trips to Philips Arena.
