And a good Tuesday to you we leave it off with the NBA and the Kings in action tonight and they are getting a big time break with the clippers in town and no Kauai Leonard. He has been ruled out with knee soreness.

Now I talked about this anytime you play the clippers.

You need to wait until you get to the game day because you never know who's going to be in the lineup and who's not going to be in the lineup for the clippers.

Now the clippers right now are 47 and 27. 48 hours ago they were in Charlotte.

They are two games up on the Mabs.

They cannot really finish first second, a third.

They're either going to be fourth or fifth.

So Home Court is on the line for the clippers here as they wrap up the season with eight games left.

All right now let's get to the Kings. Okay? Currently they are 43 and 31.

They are even in the lost column with Phoenix,

they are one back in the lost column of New Orleans,

two back in the lost column of New Orleans, two back in the wind column, but they also lose the tiebreaker to New Orleans.

So that is significant.

Now the Kings do play the pelicans coming up after this road trip which begins in New York.

But I still think the Kings, could they finish in six? They could, but I think it's unlikely? I think it's either going to be seventh or eighth.

The Lakers are currently playing in Toronto and are up by double digits on them.

They are 42 and 33.

So what does that mean?

Well, it means that after tonight,

if the kings don't beat the clippers,

the Lakers and the Kings could be even in the wind column.

And the Lakers would only be one back in the lost column.
