Game #26 | Kings @ Cavs | Dec. 9, 2022

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Not liking our chances without Mitchell and Wade especially with the Kings being 12-6 in their last 18. If Fox is out that kind of evens it up, though.

It will be interesting to watch the Garland/Fox and LeVert/Huerter matchups. Allen/Sabonis will be a big matchup as well. Harrison Barnes is shooting 49% so Mobley will have his hands full. The Kings are shooting 33% on 3's on the road (against 39% at home) so the key is to make them shoot 3's, except for Huerter.

The Kings are weak defensively in the paint so I expect the Cavs to run the pick-and-roll relentlessly to set up some lobs to Mobley and Allen.

In the end the Kings are 5-6 away while the Cavs are 10-1 at home, but without Mitchell and Wade the Kings have a shot. I would be great if Fox and his 23 points per game on 51% from the field would not be available.

That kind of makes up for us missing Mitchell. I'm still at Cavs at 55-60% chance of winning. Let's call it 57.5%.

Its time to even the score

40 points & 28 boards with a dozen blocks for Giraffe tonight. Along with a rejection for taunting after a poster. Book it.
