Sacramento hasn't won back to back games since November and tonight's opponent won't go down without a fight. Dallas enters tonight's game with a record of 26-12 and one of the best offenses in the entire NBA. Today's action tips off at 7:00 pm on Comcast SportsNet California and on KHTK 1140.

3 THINGS TO LOOK FOR

MATCHUP OF THE GAME

There are very few players in the NBA that can effectively and consistently guard DeMarcus Cousins in a one-on-one situation. Tyson Chandler is one of them. Cousins has struggled against Chandler in the past, both offensively and defensively as the quick footed Chandler is very good in the Pick and Roll. The Kings have proven that they can't win without Cousins, so they'll have to do their best to get him the ball in good situations and he will have to do his best to try not to force the issue when Chandler cuts off some of the options that he's used to having.

PREGAME LIMERICK

The Mavericks ended up with Rajon,
causing Pete to exclaim, "come on!"
But without picks,
and guys that shoot bricks,
Danny Ainge could only stifle a yawn.

PREDICTION

Kings 113, Mavericks 81 after Dirk Nowitzki has the worst game of his career because he stayed up all night watching the new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer over and over again.
