Sacramento Kings podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1 Can the Kings control the pace? Will Sacramento be able to push the tempo and play their preferred fast-paced offense, or will the Clippers slow the game down in the half court?

#2 Which team wins the battle in the paint? Will Sacramento’s interior scoring and rebounding hold up against the Clippers’ frontcourt defense?

#3 Who steps up in the clutch? If the game is close in the fourth quarter, which team will execute better in late-game situations?

#4 Can the Clippers contain Sacramento’s perimeter shooting? The Kings often rely on strong three-point production—can Los Angeles limit open looks from deep?

#5 Will home-court advantage matter? How much impact will the crowd and environment have for the Clippers playing at home?
