Not only are they one of the weaker teams in the league, but they have spent the first week of the season away from home. Tonight they will try to close their season-opening four-game road trip with their first victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Sixers will be trying  to rebound from a second-half collapse where they had a nine-point lead with nine minutes to play against the Hawks, but Atlanta went on a 24-8 run to close the game, dealing the 76ers a 95-88 defeat.

It is going to be a long season for Kings backers. The biggest problem so far is a lack of experience in the paint with Brad Miller serving a five-game suspension. The Kings are giving up 46.7 ppg in the paint, which is third worst in the league. Get your NBA odds in the Bodog Sportsbook for all your online sports betting needs.
