Good news. This is a big back to back. Obviously in an ideal world you would win both and have serious momentum but I’d take a split too. It almost certainly comes down to the 3 ball. Buddy and Steph get loose and it’s going to be a long night.

The Kings have the weapons to stop Buddy and Steph. The question is, is Doug Christie willing to employ them? This game will be a test of Christie's resolve.

Carters going to get tested for sure. No Foxy is a big test for this team. We'll really need him to come through for 15-20 tonight

Agree with the broad sentiments of your post, though not the wording. I don't think any team has weapons to "stop" them. Hopefully, slow them down enough for us to pull it off.

I expect a starting lineup of Sabonis, DeRozan, Murray, Ellis, and Monk, in that order, 5 to 1. Devin Carter will see more burn, and perhaps Isaac Jones will play, since he is big enough to "slow down" Draymond "Stomp-Man" Green.

Speaking of whom, I started to watch last night's game between Memphis and Golden State. JJJ was driving from around the free throw line, guarded by Green and Moses Moody, I believe. Green threw a clear punch at Jackson's stomach, but his fist did not really connect. He was called for a regular foul.

Something to watch for tonight.

Curry didn’t play last night so he’ll be rested

McLaughlin should get minuets vs there guards they have nobody to punish him with

Just expect that stuff the refs won’t penalize him and no nba player comes back at him no matter what

Kuminga, Podziemski, and Payton II are out for the Warriors. Put together, they score 3 points more per game than Fox all by himself. We need to test the Warriors' bench, and keep Moses Moody under wraps.
