It's time for Grant's Grant's Grant.

Grant is brought to you by Bennett's Restaurant, Sacramento, Roseville, the Westside Grill in Rockland.

Get down there this weekend for their outstanding brunch.

Make a reservation at bennetsrestorants.com, prime seafood, and steak at Bennett's.

Kings, Lakers, tonight, the first of two in back-to-back games on the

King's home floor, where they are six and eight. And as I record this, the health of the

Kings going into tonight's game is uncertain. Sabonis, Murray, Herder, right? Are they going to be on the court? Are they going to be

playing? Trey Liles, full participant in practice? He looks like he's good for his return,

but if the Kings don't have Murray, Herder, and Sabonis, they're in deep trouble. I'd be surprised

if Sabonis doesn't play. Murray, on the other hand, did not practice yesterday, and we'll just have to wait and see.

Lakers are 10th in the West, Kings 12th in the West, and a game under 500.

These are big, big games.

Obviously, when you say Kings and Lakers, normally you say enough, but when you look at the

standings in the West, Sacramento does not have any more room for error. They don't. Coming

off a bitter loss, 130 to 129 to Denver to open up this five-game homestand. The Lakers look healthy.

They are coming off a big home win against Memphis.

Fasten your seatbelts, folks, should be a lot of fun tonight.

And that's my rant for today.

Don't forget, Ryan and Sacktown with the Kings Court at 2.

Then he'll have the pregame show.

Jerry Reynolds joins us at intermission. And then we invite your phone calls on the postgame show for the Kings and the Lakers.

Have a great day, everybody.
