Sacramento Kings podcast Tony Harvey:

#1 Can DeMar DeRozan keep his hot streak going and create enough space for his teammates against the Mavericks’ defense, especially with Cooper Flagg likely guarding him for stretches of the game?

#2 How will the Kings Maxime Raynaud match up with the Mavericks’ frontcourt, and can he use his strength and basketball IQ to dominate in the paint while also facilitating Sacramento’s offense?

#3 Will Keegan Murray’s three-point shooting continue to be a critical asset for the Kings, and how will the Mavericks adjust their defense to contain his perimeter scoring alongside DeRozan and Russell Westbrook?

#4 Is the Kings Precious Achiuwa experience and ability to score in a variety of ways going to be a key factor for the Kings, especially in terms of providing steady scoring alongside the younger players?

# 5 Can Nique Clifford slow down the Mavericks offensive flow? Will Clifford’s on-ball defense be enough to challenge Dallas’ playmaking and scoring ability?
