Lakers hoping Caldwell-Pope excels again vs. Kings

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has played well against the Sacramento Kings this season, and the veteran shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers should have fresh legs when the teams meet Sunday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Caldwell-Pope is averaging 23.3 points in three games against the Kings this season. He scored his season-high of 34 points in a 113-108 win in Sacramento on Feb. 24, lifting the Lakers to a 2-1 mark against the Kings this season.

Caldwell-Pope played just 16 minutes Friday night after he was ejected late in the second quarter for arguing a non-call in a 124-122 overtime loss to the visiting Milwaukee Bucks, which guaranteed a fifth consecutive losing season for the Lakers (33-42).
