Headline #1: De’Aaron Fox against Lonzo Ball
When it comes to individual matchups, this has to be the most anticipated one for fans to see. Since their college days, De’Aaron Fox and Lonzo Ball have had epic battles against each other, and now that both have been drafted to the Kings and Lakers, it is only going to get better going forward.
What also makes this matchup fun tonight is that both guys play similar styles on offense, at least in terms of tempo. So far this season, both the Kings and Lakers are amongst the top teams in the league in pace factor, and both players are a reason for it. Expect Fox and Ball to push the tempo of the game every chance they get. Whoever is able to facilitate their offense more efficiently will definitely give their team the better chance to come out of this game with the victory.
Finally! Both these players are listed as healthy to play against one another. Now that they both have a little more NBA experience under their belts, which one will outplay the other on the hardwood tonight?
