LA Clippers vs Sacramento Kings Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for April 11 | NBA 2024-25 season

The LA Clippers finish their 2024-25 regular season with a two-game road trip, with their first stop at Sacramento to face the Sacramento Kings on Friday night. James Harden and co. have clinched their season series against their Pacific Division and are looking for a 4-0 sweep.

The first two meetings between the Clippers and the Kings took place early in the season. Ty Lue’s boys clinched dominant wins on Nov. 8 and Nov. 22. However, the dynamics have changed drastically since then, particularly for the Kings. Sacramento traded away De’Aaron Fox in exchange for Zach LaVine, while Kawhi Leonard was absent for the first 35 games of the season.

The third matchup between the teams, on March 9, witnessed an action-packed thriller at the Intuit Dome. Neither team led by more than nine points, resulting in a 97-97 tie in regulation. Eventually, the Clippers secured a 111-110 victory, thanks to Leonard’s buzzer-beating, game-winner.

While Leonard’s crucial shot proved to be the difference maker, the one-two punch of Harden (29 points, 11 assists) and Ivica Zubac (22 points, 14 rebounds) was also key.

The Kings, meanwhile, suffered a heartbreaking loss but witnessed impressive performances, highlighted by DeMar DeRozan’s 31-point, 10-assist double-double, while Zach LaVine also chimed in with 30 points.

For the Kings, who are certain to play in the 9-10 play-in game, tonight's result will be irrelevant. The game is important for the Clippers, though, who are in a close fight for the #4 spot. By emerging victorious, LAC could have a shot at surpassing the Denver Nuggets.
