3 THINGS TO LOOK FOR

1. The Kings defense was perplexing last night, and not in a good way. It seemed at times like the guys just did not want to pick up their man, or make a pointless switch, or double Kyle O'Quinn when he didn't have the ball in his hands. If the Kings play that defense with the four players I mentioned earlier, it will be a long night.

MATCHUP OF THE GAME

There is something I didn't think I'd say a few months ago. Whiteside hasn't just been been putting up good numbers, he is putting up some downright perplexing numbers. While Boogie had his number last game, and got Hassan into some quick foul trouble early, he still needs to be prepared to go at him. Boogie is still much bigger than Hassan, and should be able to have his way on both ends of the court.

PREGAME LIMERICK

The Kings find themselves in Miami,

Hopefully they don't find no Whammies,

And Boogie goes off,

And the Kings will all scoff,

And bring me closer to family.

PREDICTION

Kings 105, Heat 99, with all the Kings fans screaming "Ayy Papi"
