(My Sportsbook) - The two worst teams in the Western Conference meet in Hollywood on Friday when the Los Angles Clippers play host to the Sacramento Kings.

The lowly Clippers dropped their sixth game in a row on Tuesday in LA when Ryan Gomes scored 24 points and pulled down 13 rebounds, as the Minnesota Timberwolves took advantage of a depleted Clippers front line to beat Los Angeles, 87-77, at the Staples Center.

Eric Gordon scored 28 for the Clippers, while Brian Skinner added 16 points and a season-high 14 rebounds in a reserve role, while starter Baron Davis had 12 points.

The Clippers were without forwards Zach Randolph (suspension), Marcus Camby (sprained left ankle) and Al Thornton (sprained right shoulder).

Randolph, who is averaging a team-best 21.1 points, will serve the second of a two-game team suspension after he was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving.

The Kings, meanwhile, continued their woeful season by dropping their sixth straight against Houston in Sacramento on Thursday. Ron Artest scored 26 points in his first visit back to Sacramento since being traded from the Kings in the offseason in that one, as the Rockets rolled to a 115-98 triumph.

Spencer Hawes led Sacramento with 22 points and 11 rebounds, while Andres Nocioni and Francisco Garcia contributed 17 points apiece. Jason Thompson added 16 points and 10 rebounds and Beno Udrih added 12 for the Kings.

The Kings are 3-0 this season versus the Clippers, which included a 103-98 win at Los Angeles in November and will be shooting for a season sweep of the series tonight.
