2. Can the Kings survive the three point onslaught? Fact: the Kings allow the most three point attempts and 2nd most three point makes in the league. Fact: Houston shoots the 2nd most three three point attempts and makes the 4th most three pointers in the league. If Houston gets hot from three early, the Kings are toast.

MATCHUP OF THE GAME

The Kings didn't have DeMarcus Cousins the last time these two teams met but Cousins still isn't at full health. Still, he's had big games against Dwight Howard in the past and his presence is going to provide the Kings with an option that they sorely missed in their last matchup. While Houston was able to go to James Harden down the stretch for reliable points, the Kings were missing that guy. Hopefully Cousins can take care of business against Dwight and give the Kings an option down low to counter Harden.
