#1 Can the Sacramento Kings (5-17) Russell Westbrook push the tempo against Miami Heat (14-9) half-court defense, or will the Heat’s pressure disrupt the Kings’ transition game Saturday night in Miami?

#2 With Domantas Sabonis has been out with an injury Maxime Raynaud is getting minutes and will be facing Bam Adebayo, which big man will control the interior and dictate the flow of the offense?

#3 Will Keegan Murray’s improved shot creation give Sacramento an edge on the wing against Miami’s physical perimeter defenders?

#4 How will Malik Monk’s scoring bursts match up against the Heat’s bench unit, which often swings momentum at home?

# 5 Can Maxime Raynaud and Monk provide the stability Sacramento needs on the road, especially in late-game situations against a disciplined Miami squad? Raynaud and Monk led Sacramento in scoring last Wednesday against the Houston Rockets with 25 points.
