Christmas Day is now over. But at least it means that the Sacramento Kings will be on the hardwood once again, this time to play against the Los Angeles Clippers in the Staples Center. This NBA season has been filled with a ton of surprises, but maybe the two biggest shockers have been the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Clippers.
Prior to the season, the Kings were projected to finish the year in the basement of the NBA standings, but currently, they are the eighth seed in the Western Conference with a record of 18-15. As for the Clippers, many expected them to compete for a playoff spot only to end up short, but they are also in the playoff picture as their 19-14 record has them in the sixth seed in the West.
