Shootaround: Kings vs. Grizzlies
March 27, 2009 by Andrew Nicholson ·
Bobby Jackson (fractured left cheekbone), Andres Nocioni (right quadricep tendinitis) and Cedric Simmons (sprained right ankle) have been cleared to play tonight.
The Kings have won 20 consecutive games against the Memphis Grizzlies at ARCO Arena. The last time (and only time) the Grizzlies defeated the Kings in Sacramento was on April 19, 1998 (112-108 OT loss) when the franchise was still in Vancouver. However, the Grizzlies have come close. Last season, on March 26, 2008, Sacramento escaped with a one-point overtime victory (107-106). Of the team’s 20 straight wins over Memphis, four have been decided by three points or less. The Kings home winning streak against the Grizzlies is the third-longest active streak in the NBA — the Spurs have defeated the Warriors 22 consecutive times and the Suns have overcome the Bucks 21 straight times.
Before the Kings tip-off at ARCO Arena against the Grizzlies for the final time this season, watch the Gameday Conversation with Spencer Hawes. The second-year center discusses his work with Kings Development Coach Pete Carril, the team’s approach for the young Grizzlies and his relationship with rookies Donté Greene and Jason Thompson.

Cookin’ with Chef Boyar-JT!
January 13, 2009 by Jason Thompson ·
On Sunday we played against a good, competitive, playoff-bound Dallas team with a lot of veterans. I had a match-up against Dirk Nowitzki and it was a great opportunity for me. I got into the starting lineup again and I’m just trying to take advantage of every opportunity that I get. Dirk didn’t have one of his best games. I guarded him for most of the game, but Brad and I switched off. I went up against Erick Dampier as well and I tried to limit easy baskets and offensive rebounds. We came out with the victory. It was a good win and hopefully we can build on it.
