Three Things

Matchup of the Game

With Cousins out we'll be seeing a lot of minutes for Kosta Koufos. Kosta hasn't been particularly productive lately, something that can be said for the Kings bench as a whole. He has a good matchup here with Monroe, a classic post player who is also defensively deficient on the other end. The Kings should take advantage of Monroe's slow feet to get some pick and roll action going with Rondo on Koufos. On the other end I think Kosta will be able to hold his own as this is a matchup suited to his abilities as a post defender.
