21-year old shooting guard Tyreke Evans sat out a couple of games earlier this month in an attempt to get healthy.  It seems to have worked as he is on fire right now.  In his last 8 games, Evans is averaging 39.8 minutes, 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.3 steals per game.  He is shooting 68 of 141 (46.8%) from the floor in those games as his shooting is starting to come around.  Evans has now played in 40 games (all starts) for the Kings this year and he is averaging 37.4 minutes, 17.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game.  Evans is only shooting 40.6% from the floor so far this year but he’s coming around.  It should come as no surprise that the Kings have gotten hot right along with Evans.

The Sacramento Kings shot 50% from the floor last night and it was a big key to victory.  DeMarcus Cousins led the way for the Kings in this game with 25 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal.  Tyreke Evans (18 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal) and Samuel Dalembert (16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots) also had solid games for the Kings last night.  Beno Udrih pitched in with 14 points for the Kings in this game.  The Kings are now 12-33 on the year.

The Kings shot 51.2% from the floor and they outrebounded the Lakers 41-36 which were the two biggest reasons for the shocking road in last night!  DeMarcus Cousins was a force last night with 27 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots.  Omri Casspi (20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal) and Samuel Dalembert (18 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist in 27 minutes) also had good games for the Kings last night.  Tyreke Evans (13 points) and Carl Landry (12 points) also pitched in last night for the Kings.  The Kings are now 11-33 on the year.

The Kings only shot 36% from the floor last night and it did them in.  Tyreke Evans only shot 6 of 18 from the floor but he still led the way for the Kings last night with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  Carl Landry had a solid game off the bench for the Kings last night with 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals in 30 minutes.  Jason Thompson pitched in with 14 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  The Kings are now 10-33 on the year.

The Kings shot 50% from the floor and they outrebounded the Blazers 44-39 which were two reasons they prevailed.  The Kings outscored the Blazers 26-16 in the 4th quarter to roll to a victory last night.  Tyreke Evans led the way for the Kings with 26 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.  Carl Landry had a solid game off the bench last night with 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in 34 minutes on the floor.  Beno Udrih (14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot), DeMarcus Cousins (14 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists in 15 minutes) and Omri Casspi (12 points) also had decent games for the Kings last night.  The Kings are now 10-32 on the year.

The Kings didn’t play any D as the Warriors shot 51.6% from the floor and it did them in last night.  Tyreke Evans led the way for the Kings last night with 35 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.  DeMarcus Cousins also had a outstanding game with 21 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot last night.  Omri Casspi got the start at small forward last night and he responded with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists in 44 minutes on the floor.  Jason Thompson (12 points) and Carl Landry (10 points) also pitched in for the Kings last night.  The Kings are now 9-32 on the year.

20-year old center DeMarcus Cousins got into head coach Paul Westphal’s Dog House for a while but he has really stepped up so far in January.  Cousins has played in 11 games so far in January and he is averaging 28.5 minutes, 16.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 blocked shots per game.  He has now played in 40 games (25 starts) for the Kings this year and he is averaging 26.1 minutes, 12.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.  Cousins is going to be a really big part of the Kings’ future!  27-year old point guard Pooh Jeter is trying to make up for lost time.  He has played in 28 games (1 start) for the Kings so far this year and he is averaging 15.4 minutes, 4.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.  Jeter has done a good job whenever called upon for the Kings as it looks like he has found a home in Sacramento.  21-year old center Hassan Whiteside is toiling in the D-League right now where he can get some P.T.  He has played in 1 game (0 starts) for the Kings so far this year and he worked 2 minutes with the only other mark in the scorebook being his two fouls.  The Kings will likely take things slow with Whiteside.

29-year old center Samuel Dalembert has been really solid off the bench for the Kings lately.  In his last five games, Dalembert is averaging 24.0 minutes, 10.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.8 blocked shots on 60% shooting from the floor.  Dalembert has now played in 38 games (15 starts) for the Kings this year and he is averaging 19.9 minutes, 5.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.7 blocked shots per game.  The Kings need Dalembert to keep giving them good defense and rebounding off the bench.

The Kings will be without 29-year old SG Francisco Garcia for the next couple of weeks due to a left calf strain.  Garcia has played in 35 games (12 starts) for the Kings so far this year and he is averaging 23.3 minutes, 9.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.  The Kings will miss Garcia while he’s out of action as he is a decent offensive player unless someone steps up.  Only time will tell if someone does indeed step up while Garcia is out of action.

The Kings were outscored 9-5 in O.T. last night and it killed them as they left everything they had on the floor Wednesday Night.  Beno Udrih led the way for the Kings last night with 20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.  Tyreke Evans filled up the stat sheet with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 blocked shot in this game.  Samuel Dalembert was incredible off the bench for the Kings in this game with 15 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocked shots in 28 minutes on the floor.  Omri Casspi and Carl Landry pitched in with 10 points apiece in this game.  The Kings are now 9-31 on the year.
