LA Clippers vs Sacramento Kings What To Watch:
Friday night's matchup between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Sacramento Kings will pit two teams on two-game winning streaks, mostly thanks to underappreciated individuals.
After a potentially disastrous five-game homestand, the Clippers ended it with two victories, including a resounding 110-98 victory on Wednesday night in Paul George's return to Los Angeles as a Philadelphia 76er.
With 26 points and six 3-pointers, Norman Powell maintained his strong start for the Clippers, who finished the five-game home stretch with a 2-3 record.
After the victory, the 31-year-old acknowledged that seeing George served as a reminder that he now has the opportunity to play a bigger role with the Clippers, who are also without injured Kawhi Leonard.
Powell leads the Clippers in scoring at 25.0 points per game and has started all eight games. Compared to last year, when he achieved a career-high 3-point shooting percentage of 43.5 percent, his current percentage of 48.5 shows even another increase.
Powell only made three starts the previous season because George, Leonard, and Russell Westbrook were on the roster. Two of those games, incidentally, were against the Kings, where he scored 17 points in a road loss in April and 21 points in a home loss in February.
The Clippers won the first two matchups last season, one at each location, despite Powell scoring just 18 points off the bench.
Last season, no Clippers-Kings match was decided by fewer than 14 points.
This year, Sacramento has already experienced a lot of nail-biters. It has won four of its eight games by four points or less, including two in a row prior to Wednesday's 122-107 victory over the Toronto Raptors at home.
De'Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan each scored 20 points or more, and Domantas Sabonis recorded a triple-double as the Kings' talents shone brightly against the Raptors.
Keegan Murray's 22 points and 12 rebounds, his fourth double-double of the season, were a major factor in the victory.
Following his team's victorious return from a four-game trip that resulted in three victories, including Monday's finale at Miami, Kings coach Mike Brown singled out Murray.
Murray had at least two offensive rebounds in each of his four double-doubles and at least one in each of his eight games. It set a career high with seven offensive boards.
Attacking the glass is intentional, he claimed.
In last year's two victories over the Clippers, the third-year King showed off his skills under the Sacramento rim by snagging two offensive rebounds in each contest. He helped the teams win with a total of 30 points and 13 rebounds.
