Going to be a weird week. All the new guys coming in, Bibby playing against Sac in Sac on Wednesday, then the trade deadline comes after that.

Everyone has passed their physicals, and will be available to play in Portland.

The Game Plan: Kings (23-28) at Portland (28-24)

Tipoff: 7 p.m.

Where: Rose Garden, Portland, Ore.

TV: CSN Radio: KHTK (1140 AM)

Head to head: Playing in Portland is never kind to the Kings, as they've lost 41 of 49 games there during the Sacramento era. The latest was on Nov. 23, when the Trail Blazers' 87-84 win was considered a bad loss because, well, it came before Portland won 17 of 18 games from early December to mid-January.

Blazers update: The unbeatable streak has been followed by a stretch in which Portland has lost 11 of its last 17 games.

Blazers injuries: F James Jones (left knee, out); F Darius Miles (right knee, out); C Greg Oden (right knee, out).

Kings injuries: PF Shareef Abdur-Rahim (right knee surgery, out).

Looks like Mike Bibby got hurt in his first game. It would suck if he wasn't able to go tomorrow:

Mike Bibby played his first game with the Hawks following Saturday's trade from Sacramento, finishing with just five points and three assists in 16-plus minutes. He picked up his fourth foul with 9:33 left in the third quarter and going to the bench for good with Atlanta down by 35. He actually limped off with what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution characterized as a heel injury, taking off his right shoe and sitting out the rest of the game.

"It was the second day I was with the guys, you know. It will come," Bibby said afterward, not mentioning an injury. "They jumped on us pretty early. They were pressuring us, forcing turnovers and scoring easy baskets."

Helluva timing for the Hawks game. Reminds me of when Webber got traded to Philly and came back to Sac-Town like the same week.

I went to the game, I almost cried. LOL.

A familiar face has return spoiled: Despite a bruised heel, Mike Bibby has 17 points vs. his old Kings teammates, but it's not enough

Artest: 29 Points, 7 Rebounds, 3 Steals
Martin: 26 Points (8/18 FG)
Udrih: 18 Points & 10 Assists

Bibby: 17 Points & 3 Assists
