PREVIEW
(Sports Network) - The surging Philadelphia 76ers open a season-long six-game road trip when they visit the Sacramento Kings tonight at ARCO Arena.
This is the second and final meeting of the campaign between the squads. On December 14th, Brad Miller scored 25 points, pulled down 10 rebounds and dished out six assists to lead the Kings to a 109-99 win over the Sixers at the Wachovia Center.
Philadelphia has lost five of six and 15 of its last 17 at Sacramento.
The Sixers enter tonight's contest on a two-game winning streak. Andre Iguodala scored 28 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lift Philadelphia to a 96-85 victory over the Miami Heat at the Wachovia Center.
Louis Williams and Kyle Korver both scored 13 points off the bench for the Sixers, who have won seven of their last 10 games overall. Andre Miller collected 12 points and 12 assists in the victory.
Philadelphia, which has won three of its last four as the visitor, is 5-7 on the road this season. The Sixers will also visit Portland, Seattle, Utah, the Lakers and Denver on the current swing.
On the injury front for Philadelphia, guard Willie Green (strained left groin) is doubtful. Green, who has missed two straight games, is averaging 13.1 points in 26 contests this season.
Sacramento has dropped two in a row and plays the third of a four-game homestand. On Wednesday, Kevin Garnett scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, as the Boston Celtics used a huge spurt in the second quarter to snap an 11-game skid at Sacramento with an 89-69 victory.
Ron Artest finished with 15 points and six rebounds in the loss to Boston for the Kings, who have lost six of their last 10 games overall. John Salmons ended with 13 points and Francisco Garcia netted 12 in defeat.
The Kings are 8-6 at home this season. They will host the Phoenix Suns on Sunday at US Airways Center.
