Sacramento Kings podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

1. Can Zach LaVine lead the Sacramento Kings offensively against Portland, and will his scoring ability help Sacramento get an early-season victory over the Trail Blazers?

2. Will Domantas Sabonis control the boards and dominate inside against Portland’s frontcourt, particularly if the Kings need second-chance points to stay competitive?

3. Can Keegan Murray make a difference from beyond the three-point line while also helping Sacramento defend Portland’s versatile forwards?

4. Will Darius Acuff Jr provide the Kings with a scoring spark off the bench, and can his playmaking help Sacramento maintain offensive momentum against Portland?

5. Can De’Andre Hunter make an impact on both ends of the floor, especially defensively against Portland’s talented perimeter players, and help the Kings secure a home win?
