Mister Slim Says: The Pacific Division is the only division in the NBA with no teams below .500, so expect this to be a tough game. This is pretty much a "must win," in terms of the "We Gettin' Arab Money" Cup. There's virtually no shot to make it out of the group if the Kings start 0-2 in pool play. On the road, with a most likely unfriendly whistle, against the league's preeminent foul merchant, the Bearded Hag™, aka James Harden. On the plus side, Kings are expected to get back DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis, both having missed the last two games with back injuries. On the minus side, the Clippers are expected to be without Kawhi Leonard and this season's leading scorer, Norm Powell, so you know what that means...
