Sacramento Kings podcast Tony Harvey:

1. Can Darius Acuff Jr. continue his explosive start? After scoring 34 points and handing out 14 assists against New Orleans, can the rookie point guard maintain his offensive momentum against Memphis while creating opportunities for Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis?

2. Will Zach LaVine provide the scoring punch Sacramento needs? With LaVine averaging 26 points per game through the Kings’ first five contests, can he take control offensively and help Sacramento avenge its October 25 loss to Memphis?

3. Can Domantas Sabonis win the battle in the paint? How important will Sabonis’ rebounding, passing and interior scoring be against Memphis, particularly if the Grizzlies look to exploit Sacramento’s defensive vulnerabilities?

4. Is Keegan Murray ready to make a two-way impact? Can Murray provide consistent perimeter shooting while taking on difficult defensive assignments against Memphis’ athletic lineup?

5. Can Sacramento finally break through on the road? Following an 0-5 start, will contributions from De’Andre Hunter, Precious Achiuwa and the Kings’ supporting cast be enough to overcome Memphis on its home floor?
