Clippers-Kings Preview

While Blake Griffin continues to excel for the Los Angeles Clippers, things seem to be getting worse for Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins.

Two rookie big men headed in opposite directions meet Monday night when the Clippers try to hand the Kings an eighth straight loss.

Griffin is averaging 21.1 points and 12.4 rebounds to lead all rookies, and enters with 18 straight double-doubles. He finished with 28 points and 12 boards before fouling out for the second time this season in a 108-103 win over Phoenix on Sunday, the Clippers' fourth victory in five games.

"I don't know how this kind of game would have gone if it was game 3 or 4 or 5," Griffin said. "But now that we're more comfortable with each other, guys know what to do."

Despite ranking second behind Griffin among rookies with 11.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, Cousins is enduring a trying first season.

He was kicked out of a practice last month, and was removed from the starting lineup for Thursday's 84-79 loss to Milwaukee. Coach Paul Westphal made the move after fining Cousins an undisclosed amount for making a choking gesture at Golden State guard Reggie Williams during Tuesday's 117-109 overtime loss.

"Everything we're trying to do with DeMarcus is looking through the lens to what's best for DeMarcus and what's best for the team, both long-term and for these games," Westphal said. "It all factors in. I think it's important that he learns how to be a professional. That goes from his concentration at meetings to his effort in practice. It's all a part of professionalism."

Cousins finished with two points, four fouls and five rebounds in 13 minutes Thursday.

"I'm not going to speak out about that (not starting)," Cousins said. "I knew it would be up and down, but that's how it is in the NBA. Right now we have to look for some type of positive. The only thing right now is that we can grow from it and learn from it."

The rookie is far from the only problem for Sacramento (5-22), as rumors circulate that Westphal's job is in jeopardy. Leading scorer Tyreke Evans had a season-low four points on 2-of-13 shooting Thursday, and is shooting 30.5 percent in his last eight games.

"I talked to Tyreke after the game and he has some things bothering him that I really don't think is anybody's business," Westphal said. "There's more going on in his life, it's kind of a difficult time right now."

Griffin averaged 19.0 points and 13.0 rebounds in two home wins over Sacramento this season. Eric Gordon averaged 28.5 points in those games to lead the way for Los Angeles (9-22).

Cousins totaled 22 points, 13 rebounds and nine fouls in the losses while Evans averaged 12.0 points and shot 21.9 percent.

Evans was at his best in last season's two home wins over the Clippers, averaging 25.0 points on 52.5 percent shooting. The Kings have won five straight home meetings with the Pacific Division rival Clippers and 22 of the last 24 matchups at ARCO Arena.

The Clippers have won consecutive road games after losing their first 11.

THE FACTS: Tyreke Evans' missed free throw with just 1.9 seconds remaining was the difference in the Los Angeles Clippers 100-99 road victory against the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. Kings center DeMarcus Cousins made an effort to tip back the miss on the offensive glass and appeared to be fouled by Blake Griffin, but no call was made.

QUOTABLE: "The ref didn't call it so there is nothing I can do about it. But I did get pulled down on the last possession. ... It's very hard to swallow. We could have won that game; I could have tipped that ball in. It was a great effort by Blake, a sneaky play but he did the right thing."
-- DeMarcus Cousins

TURNING POINT: Evans needed to make all three free throws with 1.9 seconds remaining to tie the game. The Kings trailed 100-97 when Evans was intentionally fouled by Baron Davis behind the 3-point line and awarded free throws. Evans made the first two free throws before missing the third attempt. Cousins tipped the rebound towards the basket, and he seemed to be fouled by Griffin on the play, but no call was made and the effort was missed. The loose ball was then tipped out to Evans in the middle of the key but the Kings guard missed on a quick shot at the buzzer.

THE STAT: The Clippers were more physical than the Kings for most of the night. Los Angeles outscored Sacramento 50-26 in the paint and won the rebounding battle by a 48-34 margin.

QUOTABLE II: "Things have gone against us enough so it's good to get a bounce our way."
-- Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro

HOT: Eric Gordon's team-high 31 points came with a 6-for-7 shooting performance from behind the 3-point arc. Gordon also grabbed six rebounds and tallied four assists. Gordon's scoring continues to scorch. The third-year guard entered Monday night with a career-high average of 23.7 points and is in the top five in the NBA of games with 20 points or more, which he now has done 23 times.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: It looked like the Evans of old -- well, at least last season. The reigning Rookie of the Year, who has struggled thus far in his second season, scored a game-high 32 points, displaying that explosive ability to get to the rim that earned him accolades last season. Though Evans came up short on his final free throw and late game-winning attempt, he proved he is still capable of being the star that Sacramento is desperately seeking.

BAD MOVE: Opting to commit the intentional foul in the final seconds certainly made things interesting. The team didn't execute well, waiting too long to commit the foul and ended up giving the Kings a chance to tie the game. But a missed free throw and missed chances on the offensive glass may make the case that it was a good move.

ROOKIE WATCH: Griffin's dunk in the second quarter came with some lip service to Kings rookie Cousins. After the dunk, Griffin -- somewhat playfully -- chirped back to Cousins, "Come on D, come on!" He stayed in his head until the final controversial play. Griffin scored 24 points and tallied 14 rebounds and four assists on the night. Cousins had four points and nine rebounds.

NOTABLE: Evans told a group of reporters after the game that he is considering a procedure involving lasers on his left foot to deal with his plantar fasciitis. The procedure would keep the guard out three to four months.

UP NEXT: For the Clippers, Wednesday vs. Utah, Sunday vs. Atlanta, Wednesday, vs. Denver. For the Kings, Wednesday vs. Memphis, Saturday at Denver, Sunday vs. Phoenix.
