What to Know
The Clippers will be in front of their home fans on Friday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will host the Sacramento Kings at 10:30 p.m. ET at Intuit Dome. The Clippers might want some stickum for this one as the team gave up 22 turnovers on Wednesday.
The Kings are hoping to do what the Magic couldn’t on Wednesday: put an end to the Clippers’ winning streak, which now stands at three games. The Clippers came out on top against the Magic by a score of 104-93.
The Clippers smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive rebounds. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as the Magic only pulled down two.
Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored the Kings last Monday, but the final result did not. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 109-108 to the Hawks.
The losing side was boosted by Keon Ellis, who went 9 for 15 from beyond the arc en route to 33 points plus six rebounds. Those nine threes gave him a new career-high.

Keep an eye on the arc in Friday’s contest: The Clippers have been dynamite from deep this season, having made 38.2% of their threes per game. It’s a different story for the Kings, though, as they’ve only made 34% of their threes this season. Given the Clippers’ sizable advantage in that area, the Kings will need to find a way to close that gap.
