San Antonio comes into Sleep Train Arena on an uncharacteristic four-game losing streak. It's been several years since they've had a losing streak of five or more, while Sacramento hasn't won back to back games since November. 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

Tony Parker vs. Ray McCallum

Parker's the head of the snake in San Antonio and he's been pretty bad during San Antonio's losing streak. Over the past four games he's averaging just 7.5 points on an abysmal 28.9% from the field. For Sacramento to have a chance, they're going to have to keep Parker cold, and much of that burden will fall on Ray Mac's shoulders.

PREGAME LIMERICK

There's nobody quite like Coach Pop,
whose glares make the bravest man stop.
But Karl is here,
and he has no fear,
time to give the Spurs standings a drop.

PREDICTION

Kings 104, Spurs 83 after the chair DeMarcus Cousins kicked finally steps up its game and contributes 24 points, 12 rebounds and great lumbar support.
