Los Angeles at Sacramento

The Lakers have opened strong running the table in their first four games and the public has noticed, backing them here with over a 70% swarm. That usually is the death blow for a team and the Kings are out strong to open the 2010-11 campaign. The Kings have already won two games on the road this season, something it took them until about a week before Christmas to do a year ago as they won just seven on the road all year. There are certain signs that this team is on the improve. They were highly competitive vs the Lake Show last season despite losing all five games. They lost one in overtime, one by a single point, two by 7 points and one by just 6. This is an improved team and they will be using it as a measuring stick.  A win could boost this team into believing, while it is just another soft road game for the Lakers with little to get the juices going. I like Sacramento in this one.
