Sacramento Kings podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1 How will the Kings’ offense look with DeMar DeRozan leading the charge against the Mavericks’ defense, especially given his scoring consistency this season?

#2 With Zach LaVine listed as out (or questionable depending on the latest report), how does Sacramento adjust its backcourt rotation and who steps up offensively?

#3 Can Dennis Schröder’s recent playmaking and clutch shooting continue to give the Kings an edge in tight moments against Dallas?

#4 How impactful will Maxime Raynaud be in the frontcourt for Sacramento, especially with Domantas Sabonis still sidelined and providing added minutes and scoring?

#5 What defensive assignments and strategies will the Kings employ on the Mavericks’ offense, and how will Keegan Muarry be missed out of the line up?
