Since it's obvious how useful Tuesday night's open thread was, here's another.

I'm 0-1 on opponents' starting line-ups, so take the following with a grain of salt:

YOUR PROJECTED STARTING LINEUPS

HOUSTON:
PG – Rafer Alston
SG – David Wesley
SF – Tracy McGrady
PF – Juwan Howard
C  – Yao Ming

SAC:
PG – Mike Sajak
SG – Bonzo
SF – Peja Goodfeet
PF – The Midlevel
C  – B-52

The line is at +7.5, with an over/under at 190. The under was the safe bet yesterday. I wouldn't bet on the Kings with someone else's money right now.

Here are my keys to the game (guaranteed to be at least 20 percent more valuable/coherent than Jerry Reynolds'):

Those are your SR.com keys to the game.I don't expect a win, though after last night, nothing would surprise me. T-Mac isn't 100 percent, and he's a noted slow-starter. Also, Jeff Van Gundy may be hit by a bus before the game if Vito Stern is in the area. Also, the Kings having two historically bad offensive performances in a row could get Adelman fired before Veteran's Day. Adelman isn't pleased at that prospect.

Um, let's go Kings! Feel the deep and unsettling worry!
