The Kings know that a win against the Cavaliers will secure a top-four solo finish in group play. Meanwhile, for Cleveland, a victory will boost its chances of reaching the Summer League Final, but it's contingent on help from other unbeaten teams.

Fans should expect a tight, high-paced clash, as Sacramento will bring firepower and depth. Cleveland will hope to counter that threat with its versatile two-way forwards and strong bench
