MATCHUP OF THE GAME
Russell Westbrook v. Tyreke Evans. Westbrook might not spend much time guarding Evans (that job likely will fall to specialist Thabo Sefolosha) but Tyreke definitely will be spending some time on him. Westbrook is incredibly quick and explosive, and just like Tyreke, you want to keep him out of the lane and make him shoot jumpers. He's also been drawing 8.5 FTA a game too, so Tyreke needs to stay out of foul trouble. If Tyreke can help limit Westbrook while still getting his own, the Kings have a much better chance to win this game.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Donté Greene. Greene will be facing one of the toughest matchups in the league tonight in Kevin Durant. Durant can score from literally anywhere and there isn't one good way to defend him other than simply trying to stay in front of him and contest without fouling. It's a tough job, but if anyone on the Kings can do it, it'll have to be Donté.
