Sabonis doesn’t always get the limelight, but he has arguably been the most important Kings player on the roster. He leads the NBA with 14.3 rebounds per game, ranks second on the team in scoring with 20.6 points, and tops the team with 6.4 assists per game. Deandre Ayton must step up on both ends to slow down Domas.Ayton should also challenge Sabonis defensively. After averaging 13.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in January, he is up to 19.0 ppg and 12.0 rpg this month. If Ayton can go toe-to-toe with Sabonis, Portland has a solid chance to win.Zach LaVine vs Toumani CamaraBlazers coach Chauncy Billups restructured his starting lineup to produce their best basketball of the season. He uses 6-foot-7 Toumani Camara, who sometimes plays power forward, as their shooting guard. If Billups uses another big starting five, Camara will probably shadow Zach LaVine.LaVine struggled in his debut for the Kings with 13 points on 4-for-13 shooting, including 0-for-4 from deep. However, he has been playing well this season and could have his first big scoring game against Camara. If the former Chicago Bulls star finds his range, the Kings will be tough to beat.Malik Monk vs Anfernee SimonsMalik Monk takes over the starting point guard spot after Fox’s departure. In his first game as the engine of the offense, the former bench star struggled with 10 points on 4-for-10 shooting.How Monk adjusts to his new role will be key for the Sacramento Kings' chances of bouncing back. If he continues to struggle, Anfernee Simons could exploit this advantage and lead the Portland Trail Blazers to their sixth consecutive win.
