Keys to the Game:
Contain Mitchell
Last time these two teams played, Donovan Mitchell made the entire Kings roster look really, really bad. This time around, the Kings need to make sure anybody but Mitchell tries to beat them.
Know where Gobert is
Rudy Gobert is a defensive presence in the key that the Kings must constantly know where he is at all times. Last game, Gobert had four blocks against the Timberwolves, and the Kings must avoid a repeat performance from last night.
