The Los Angeles Clippers, riding a four-game winning streak, host the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night at Intuit Dome. The Kings, who have won two of their last four games, face the Clippers for the first time this season. Last year, Sacramento swept the series in close contests.
The Los Angeles Clippers (10-21) are looking to extend their longest winning streak of the season to five games when they welcome the Sacramento Kings (8-24) to Intuit Dome on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at 11:00 p.m. ET. The Clippers' recent surge includes victories over the Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, and a 112-99 win against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. This in-state California matchup marks the first meeting between the two teams this year.
Sacramento enters with momentum from two wins in their last four outings, defeating the Rockets and Dallas Mavericks, though they fell to the Lakers most recently. Last season, the Kings swept the season series against the Clippers, with two of those wins coming by just one point and one going to overtime.
Injury concerns could shape the frontcourt battle. The Clippers will be without center Ivica Zubac, which has historically made their defense more vulnerable. Without Zubac on the floor, opponents attempt 27.4% of shots at the rim compared to 23.5% when he plays, and they allow 17.9 offensive rebounds per 100 possessions versus 13.6. For the Kings, Domantas Sabonis has missed a significant portion of the season, opening opportunities for rookie Maxime Raynaud. Over his last six games, Raynaud has averaged 16.8 points and 10.0 rebounds, positioning him well for a potential double-double against a short-handed Clippers interior. He is listed at -480 odds to score at least 10 points.
The game will air on FanDuel Sports Network SoCal, with streaming available on Fubo.
