(My Sportsbook) - The Philadelphia 76ers will resume their five-game road trip tonight against the Sacramento Kings at ARCO Arena. Philadelphia has dropped two straight since a four-game winning streak and fell to 1-2 on the trek following Friday's 119-111 defeat at the hands of the Golden State Warriors. Thaddeus Young led Philly with 23 points, and Samuel Dalembert grabbed a career-high 23 rebounds to go along with 15 points. Lou Williams and Andre Iguodala registered 20 and 19 points, respectively, for the 76ers, who are currently the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia will close out the west coast trip on Monday at Portland and is 14-19 away from the Wachovia Center in 2008-09. The lowly Kings will open a four-game homestand Sunday versus the 76ers, Grizzlies, Suns and Hornets, and own a 10-23 record as the host this season. Sacramento ended a five-game slide with a 121-94 triumph at New York on Friday in the finale of a four-game road trip. Kevin Martin poured in a game-high 30 points to lead the Kings to their first win against an Eastern Conference team this season (1-28). Beno Udrih added 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for the Kings, who got 18 points and 13 boards from Spencer Hawes. Francisco Garcia registered 16 points in the rare win for Sacramento. Kings guard Rashad McCants (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday and forward Andres Nocioni (leg/knee) is listed as questionable versus the 76ers. Philadelphia crushed Sacramento, 125-91, back on November 3 this season in the City of Brotherly Love, but the Kings have won 11 of the previous 16 matchups in this series. The 76ers have dropped five of seven and 15 of the last 18 games at Sacramento. |
