Player #3: Willie Cauley-Stein
Willie Cauley-Stein has been a bright spot for the Kings this season, and he will need to remain that way for his team tonight. At the center position, the Raptors have Serge Ibaka who is having a great season so far and can definitely cause the Kings to struggles on both ends. For the year, he is currently averaging over 18 points, seven rebounds, and one block a night while making almost 60% of his shot attempts.
Cauley-Stein has to have a good night against Ibaka if the Kings want to win. On offense, Willie needs to be efficient in scoring in the interior while also setting up his teammates to score when he has the chance. On the defensive side of the ball, he needs to make sure Ibaka is not dominating the paint, whether it is from scoring or rebounding the basketball.
For the Kings to make a statement win tonight, they need the three players that I have listed in this slideshow to have great performances. If these three players can outplay their opponents, the Kings will again add another win to their record, continuing the shock the rest of the league.
