De’Aaron Fox
De’Aaron Fox is a big reason why the Kings have been a fun team to watch. The Kentucky Comet has made strides compared to his rookie year which has made the Kings one of the fastest and more efficient offenses in the league.
For the year, Fox is averaging around 18 points, eight assists, and four rebounds a game while making over 47% of his shots from the floor.
Although Fox has been crossing over his competition this year, he does have a tough opponent ahead of him. They are not the powerhouses for their team, but the Clipper guards are no group to shrug at. Containing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Patrick Beverly, and Avery Bradley, this group has physicality and scrappiness all over them.
The trio of Los Angeles guards has a reputation of being lockdown defenders, so tonight they will be on a mission to shut down Fox when he is running the offense. They will get up in his face and try to break down the 20-year old both physically and mentally. If successful, it can completely halt Sacramento’s electric offense.
Make sure to keep an eye on how Fox performs tonight. Who will win this battle, the Clipper guards or the rising star from Sacramento?
