The defending Pacific Division champion Kings have hit the skids of late by losing a pair of games to two Eastern Conference heavyweights on their road trip.

Philadelphia blew out Sacramento, 112-93 on Friday night, then the Kings had their hearts ripped out by Damian Lillard on a buzzer-beating three-pointer in Sunday's 143-142 overtime loss at Milwaukee.

The Kings look for their third win over the Suns this season as they head to Phoenix.

Sacramento topped Phoenix twice in December, including a 114-106 victory at Footprint Center as three-point favorites. The Kings won the most recent matchup at home, 120-105 as four-point favorites, highlighted by a 28-point performance from Domantas Sabonis.

Phoenix returns home following a pair of victories over the Lakers and Trail Blazers. In Sunday's victory at Portland, Devin Booker posted 34 points as all five Suns' starters finishing in double-figures.

The Suns closed as an underdog in each of the first two matchups with the Kings due to their various injuries. However, Phoenix is back to full strength with Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal in the lineup, which will hopefully turn things around in the Valley following a slow start.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Clippers

  • Opening Point-Spread: Clippers -6.5
  • Opening Money-Line: Clippers -255
  • Opening Total: 235.5
  • Time: 10:00 p.m. ET

Oklahoma City continues its two-game swing in Los Angeles on Tuesday as they battle the division-leading Clippers.

The Thunder have been one of the top stories in the NBA this season as they have put themselves in a terrific position to be a top-4 team in the Western Conference playoffs.

However, OKC lost to the Lakers on Monday, 112-105 to snap a four-game winning streak.

The Clippers are putting it together after a slow start following the acquisition of guard James Harden from the 76ers in late October. 

Los Angeles lost the first five games with Harden in the lineup, but the Clippers have heated up by going 22-7 in the last 29 games.

Since losing at home to the Lakers on December 23, the Thunder have won nine of their last 12 games to sit right in the mix of the Northwest Division lead along with Minnesota and Denver.

The Thunder rolled the Clippers in their first matchup this season, 134-115 as 6.5-point home favorites on December 21. L.A. played without star Kawhi Leonard, but OKC got another terrific performance from guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 31 points against his former team.

The Clippers had their three-game winning streak snapped on Sunday at Minnesota, 109-105, but L.A. has won 11 of its last 12 home contests.
