    Key Matchup

    Carlos Boozer vs. Chris Webber

    Carlos Boozer will have to be ready for Webber. Mehmet Okur has been playing great for the Jazz recently, and Boozer may start to relax a bit more. He can't do this against Webber, who puts up 20 and 10 often. If Boozer can contain Webber and score / rebound himself, he will be doing his bit.

    Prediction

    A win over the Spurs and Suns will make the Kings take notice and be prepared for Utah. The Jazz moral has been boosted greatly, but they are playing the day after a game, and fatigue may set in. This one should be close.

    Kings 102 Jazz 98
