Omri Casspi scored 14 points in the Kings’ 112-109 loss to the Denver Nuggets last night. Sacramento has lost three in a row following their 99-96 win over the Golden State Warriors on Jan. 26. Since the beginning of the year, the Kings have a record of 2-14. Although they are just one win away from tying last years win total of 17, their losing ways have been a real setback.
Meanwhile, Casspi was selected for the annual rookie-sophomore on Feb. 12 in Dallas ahead of the NBA All-Star game. As of this writing, he ranks in the top 10 among rookies player efficiency rating, a complex statistic akin to quarterback ratings in football.
Jordan Farmar scored five points in 20 minutes in the Lakers’ 95-93 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Teammate Kobe Bryant set a record for most points in franchise history during the game.

Michael Cammalleri had an assist in the Canadiens’ 3-2 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators on Jan. 30.
Looks like Cammalleri will be out about six weeks with a knee injury. He was the Habs’ leading scorer (26 goals, 22 assists).
We should all say a “mishabeyrach.”
Bad news. He’s having a great year too. Also heard Mathieu Schneider will miss a couple of weeks in the minors. Jeff Halpern, stay healthy and avoid the hat trick please.
Will the 2-week Olympic break allow Cammalleri to return before the season is over?
Hard to say if that would have any real effect since he would have been out for that period anyway.
