Tonight's Kings game vs. Houston

TONIGHT'S GAME

Kings (27-47) vs. Rockets (41-33)

• Time: 7 p.m.

• Where: Sleep Train Arena

• TV: CSNCA

• Radio: 1140

THREE KEYS

• Contain the shooters: Even if All-Star James Harden (sore right foot) is out, the Rockets have plenty of players who can score from the perimeter.

• Know the opponent: Both teams should have detailed scouting reports after February's trade, so the game should come down to who executes the best.

• Teamwork: The Kings were playing well Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers until a brief stretch when they reverted to too much dribbling and one-on-one play in an eventual loss. If they can avoid that rut, they'll have a better chance to win.
