In this story:

The Houston Rockets are hosting the Sacramento Kings in their lone visit to Toyota Center this season.

The Rockets visited the Kings in the capital of California, where they lost both times, including an NBA Cup group game back in December.

Tonight, the Kings look for the series sweep, but the Rockets have to win this game to keep pace in a very tight Western Conference playoff picture.

If Houston can pull out a win, it can within two games of the Memphis Grizzlies, who are currently holding the second seed while the Rockets are in fifth.
