Sacramento Kings podcast Jeremiah Salmonson:

1. Can the San Antonio Spurs De’Aaron Fox make his return to Sacramento a memorable one? How motivated will the former Kings star be against the franchise where he spent the first several years of his NBA career?

2. Can Domantas Sabonis control the matchup against Victor Wembanyama? Will Sabonis’ rebounding, passing and physicality create problems for San Antonio’s towering defensive presence?

3. Is Darius Acuff Jr. ready for another major test? Can Sacramento’s young guard maintain his impressive scoring production against the Spurs’ defensive pressure?

4. Can Zach LaVine provide the scoring punch Sacramento needs? Will LaVine’s ability to create his own shot keep the Kings competitive against San Antonio’s talented backcourt?

5. Who wins the battle between Stephon Castle and Malik Monk? Can Castle’s defense contain Monk’s ability to generate offense and change the game’s momentum?
