Jason Kidd is in town, and hopefully Joumanna got left behind. Sadly, Richard Jefferson – a player some of us have coveted in these here rebuilding talks – got himself hurt and won't play tonight, or possibly for months.

The business:

The Kings are 5-point favorites. The Nets are actually decent, though the loss of Jefferson hurts. I think the Nets pull it off. (I really do hate being so pessimistic – honestly.)

7p start on Comcast, kids. Enjoy.
