Got a little something going of late.3-0 on my last 3 posts.Latest win was the Warriors +4.5 last night.

11 games slated for tonight.

Looking at the Kings-Sonics game.

Kings...7-12...8-11 ATS
Sonics...9-9...8-10 ATS

I have never been one to use the nickname the Queens,but it sure fits the bill of late.They have lost 5 in a row and 4 of those have been at home.

Offenses...

Kings...97.9 ppg...46% fg
Sonics...100.4 ppg...44.3% fg

Defenses...

Kings...98.9 ppg...46.5% fg
Sonics...103.8 ppg...48.3% fg

There some numbers...

Like i said earler the Kings are losers of 5 in a row while the Sonics come in hot 4-1 last 5.I like the Kings in this game to cover the +3.5.These 2 teams already met 2 weeks ago in Seattle.In that game the Sonics were also a 3.5 point favorite they won the game 106-104 but of course they did not cover.So this is a revenge game for the Kings.The Sonics are playing back to back winning last night in Utah 106-90.The Kings last played at home on Thursday night losing to the Rockets.

Something has to give with the Kings.They have a decent team,i know they don`t play much defense but there 5 starters are all averaging in double figures.

Bibby...18.7
Peja...17.4
Rahim...15.1
Wells...14.9
Miller...13.9

Meanwhile i am not sold on the Sonics.They are just atrocious on the defensive end giving up a league worst 103.8 ppg,that is brutal.They are lead by sharp shooter Ray Allen 23.7 ppg seems like all this guy does is shoot 3 pointers.If he don`t get hot and score they always lose.2nd leading scorer Rashad Lewis 22.2 ppg is another launcher from 3 point land.

The Kings have to look at themselves and say we are not this bad of a team.I like the match ups tonight.Especially at center where Brad Miller should be able to take care of Collison.Bibby and Peja had 25 apiece 2 weeks ago in the loss look for both to have big games tonight.The determining factor in the loss for the Kings was the sonics were 12-34 from behind the arc.

So lets look for the Sonics to be a bit leg weary from playing back to back and lets throw in the revenge factor and what the hell lets also throw in the due factor...lol.

Kings play tough tonight!!
