2. Will Willie Cauley-Stein see more playing time? Willie has been fantastic so far this season even though he's not filling up the stat sheet. His presence on the floor helps the team on both ends, where he's a disruptor on defense and an excellent finisher on offense. The team has a net-positive rating of 31.1 points per 100 possessions when he's on the floor. Karl has been very conservative with his minutes so far, and I'd like to see that change.

MATCHUP OF THE GAME

Kawhi Leonard is a Finals MVP that has never been an All-Star. He's a defensive monster that is quickly blossoming into a versatile offensive weapon. This is a nightmare matchup for the struggling Rudy Gay. Rudy has been off his game for most of the early part of this season, and having to go up against Kawhi isn't going to help matters. The Kings would do well to run as little isolation for Rudy as possible, and instead get him shots on the move and off screens.
