Sacramento Kings podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1 How will the Kings defend against Nuggets MVP Nikola Jokić, who’s averaging elite numbers this season?

#2 Can Sacramento’s backcourt — led by Russell Westbrook and Zach LaVine — keep pace with Denver’s high-scoring offense?

#3 With Domantas Sabonis sidelined (or limited), who steps up on the boards and in the paint for Sacramento?

#4 Will the Kings’ perimeter shooting Malik Monk, DeMar DeRozan be enough to overcome Denver’s defensive pressure?

#5 Which bench players could make a difference — can Sacramento’s role players like Maxime Raynaud or Keon Ellis swing momentum?
