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.
