The Sacramento Kings will travel to Portland tonight to take on the Trail Blazers in what will be a gigantic game for both teams and their playoff hopes. They are both coming off of disappointing losses; the Kings to the short-handed 76ers, and the Trail Blazers to a fading Suns team. The defeats place them in a virtual tie in the standings, both 3.5 games behind the idol Grizzlies.
While the Kings have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA over the last month, it is the Trail Blazers who might have plenty of momentum for the stretch run through March and April.
