Denver at Sacramento

Head to head, the home team is 8-0-1 in this matchup and the Kings have won their last 3 SU at home. For anyone who has had their head in the sand the last week, the Kings were recently part of a slightly controversial trade for Ron Artest. At this point, however, Artest is simply happy to be playing basketball once again and has shown no sign of being a "trouble maker." I realize it is early, but he is going to Sacramento to play in front of his new fans and they will surely welcome a quality athlete such as Artest. He will put on a show for them tonight in an attempt to gain their support for the rest of the 2006 season. Look for Artest and the Kings to come back home after a 6 game east coast road trip and win one at home. Camby's return to Denver has for some reason done more harm than good thus far. Give the 1.5 points for two stars.
