Rumors are swirling that the Kings are going to make 26-year old shooting guard Kevin Martin available in trade soon. Martin has played in only 5 games (all starts) this season for the Kings and he is averaging 41.8 minutes, 30.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He has missed most of the first two months of the season due to a broken wrist. Martin has now played in 314 games (229 starts) in his six years with the Kings and he is averaging 30.4 minutes, 17.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steal per game. The Kings could probably get a huge haul for Martin but they could sneak into the playoffs with him so this will be a tough decision for them to make.

The Kings just ran out of gas in the 2nd OT period last night. Beno Udrih led the way for the Kings last night with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Tyreke Evans also had a solid game with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Donte’ Greene pitched in with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots last night. The Kings are now 13-16 on the season.

The Kings played really well for 48 minutes against the Cavs before getting punished 13-0 in the overtime period. Tyreke Evans led the way for the Kings last night with 28 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocked shots. Jason Thompson was very effective in close to the basket last night with 18 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. Omri Casspi also had a solid game with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists last night. The Kings are now 13-15 on the year.

Beno Udrih started this season on the bench with Tyreke Evans starting at the point. But, when Kevin Martin went down with a fractured wrist is was Udrih who stepped up. He has played in 24 games (8 starts) for the Kings this season and he is averaging 30.4 minutes, 13.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. He is also shooting the ball excellent hitting 53.3% from the floor and 42.9% from three point range. Beno Udrih’s play this season is a huge reason why the Kings are hovering around .500 this season and they need him to keep up the good work.

With under 9 minutes to play in the 3rd quarter, and the Sacramento Kings (13-14) down 79-44 against the Chicago Bulls (10-16), most Kings fans probably turned the game off.  Well, those fans are probably kicking themselves now, since the Kings came back from a 35-point deficit to win the game.  The Kings were a completely different team in the second half, and like usual the rookie Tyreke Evans led the Kings.  He had 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals and took over in the 4th quarter.  Evans helped the Kings outscore the Bulls 33-10 in the fourth quarter.  Luol Deng led the Bulls with 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.  Evans hit a key jumper over Deng late in the game.  The Kings obviously buckled down defensively too, forcing the Bulls into 18 second half turnovers after the Bulls had zero in the first half.  Ime Udoka had a very nice game off the bench for the Kings, going for 17 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal in only 23 minutes of play.  This was the biggest come-back win in the NBA since 1996, and the Kings showed great character by not giving up.
