Sacramento is steadied by G Marcus Thornton and PG Tyreke Evans, which supply a young center for the Sacramento Kings to build on. The frontcourt is bolstered by PF DeMarcus Cousins and his stable play. The Sacramento Kings are furthermore helped by the veteran presence of SG John Salmons arriving from the sideline as a deep risk. Former Indiana Hoosier great Keith Smart coaches the Sacramento Kings.

The Houston Rockets look drastically distinct from the times of Yao Ming and Steve Francis running the show. Youthful PG Kyle Lowry runs the offense with aid from PF Luis Scola and PG Goran Dragic. Vets help the Houston offense with fellow SG’s Courtney Lee and Kevin Martin contributing when they’re able to. Former Celtics great Kevin McHale leads the Houston Rockets at head coach.


Just a while back, this game could have been all over tv with competitors such as Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac, Chris Webber, and Bobby Jackson pacing the Sacramento Kings. The Houston Rockets had Yao Ming, Steve Francis, Robert Horry, and Tracy McGrady behind them. The times have surely changed things for both teams as the era of free agency and salary caps have made long-term dynasties almost obsolete.
This should be an awesome game between these 2 once-mighty teams with the game itself too close to call.
