To say that the Sacramento Kings are underdogs against the Los Angeles Clippers tonight would be an understatement.

The Kings head to Staples Center tonight to take on the Clippers on the second game of a back-to-back. They fell to the Pacers on Friday night in a close game.

Sacramento is 0-5 on the road this season, and will play five of the next seven games away from home. They have lost two in a row and eight of their last ten overall.

Meanwhile, the Clippers snapped a four-game losing streak on Wednesday night against the Timberwolves, and are tied for the lead in the division.

Things definitely look bleak for the Kings tonight, as they will have to deal with the two-headed monster of Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, aided by the return of Chauncey Billups.
