KEY GAME INFORMATION
SACRAMENTO: Rajon Rondo gets new life in Sacto. He was a disaster in Dallas, where his inability to make a jumpshot led to sagging defenses clogging the paint and stifling the Mavs. There's a real chance his skill set no longer fits in today's NBA . . . Ben McLemore's three-point shooting will be key for this team, as opponents will already have an extra defender in the paint because of Rondo. McLemore's shooting gives them a chance to open up room for DeMarcus Cousins to operate . . . The arrival of Rondo sends Darren Collison back to the bench. Though he'll likely play some 2 alongside Rondo as well . . . Marco Belinelli is a heady passer who brings more much-needed shooting to the lineup . . . After an unimpressive first stint in the NBA, James Anderson returns to the league after a one-year run in Lithuania. He has never quite become a complete player, but Rudy Gay should continue to thrive working off of DeMarcus Cousins. He'll have his share of wide-open threes and driving lanes. Gay will also see extended minutes as a stretch 4 . . . Omri Casspi had a solid bounbeback season in his return to Sacramento. He brings some defensive versatility off the bench, and shot the ball much better last season . . . Veteran wing Caron Butler is part of the Kings' attempt to surround Cousins with shooters. At this point in his career, he brings little more than the ability to spot up in the corner . . . Quincy Acy returns to Sacramento as an athletic big with little offensive upside. He's essentially a 12th man. DeMarcus Cousins lived up to his immense potential for most of last season, but he and Karl are a volatile mix . . . Uniquely athletic, Willie Cauley-Stein will take some of the defensive burden off Cousins as a possible starting 4. He's a non-factor offensively . . . Kosta Koufos is a nice addition as a quality second-unit center.
CLEVELAND: Kyrie Irving has no timetable for a return after fracturing his kneecap in the Finals. He remained effective and productive alongside LeBron James, but Cleveland has to play it safe with him in the regular season . . . Despite the shaky Finals performance, Iman Shumpert got paid this offseason. He can defend, but he's a fifth option on offense and is out until January after undergoing wrist surgery . . . Mo Williams will alleviate some of Irving's point guard load, as his shooting makes him a nice fit alongside old pal LeBron . . . Unlikely postseason hero, Matthew Dellavedova figures to lose playing time but still has a place in the NBA as an energy guy . . . Joe Harris has some upside as a shooter, but will be buried on the bench. Look for LeBron James to take a little more time off than he has in past years, but he'll still be in the MVP conversation . . . They'll have to figure something out for Kevin Love, who was neither comfortable nor effective for most of last season . . . Newly-signed Tristan Thompson is more of a big body than anything else. He'll clear space around the basket for offensive boards, but he's not a rim protector and won't scare anyone offensively . . . Richard Jefferson figures to take on solid second-unit minutes. He still has something left in the tank . . . James Jones gives them another shooter to spread the floor, and absorbs any minutes that would have gone to Mike Miller . . . Rookie Sir'Dominic Pointer has no chance to make the rotation. Timofey Mozgov will often sit when opponents go small ball, but he has made strides as a capable defender and underrated scoring threat . . . Coming off a ruptured achilles, Anderson Varejao will likely fill a part-time role. Most guys have a rough time in their first season back from that injury.
PREVIEW
Kings-Cavaliers Preview
By BRETT HUSTON STATS Senior Editor

If there's any team that can relate to rumors of a coach being on the hot seat currently circling the Sacramento Kings, it's the Cleveland Cavaliers.

If there's a coach who can take the heat, it's probably George Karl.

The Kings try to avoid an eighth loss in nine games Monday night in Cleveland, where Karl was fired long ago by a Cavaliers organization that's still finding its footing after its latest coaching change.

Reports emerged after Sacramento's 128-119 loss at Brooklyn on Friday that Karl might be dismissed before the All-Star break, a fate that wouldn't be unfamiliar for a coach who's been let go by Cleveland, Golden State, Milwaukee and Denver over a nearly four-decade career on the sidelines.

The Kings (21-30) haven't really refuted them, but they may be saying all they need to with the way they're playing. Sacramento has followed a five-game winning streak with one victory in the last two weeks, though Karl himself wasn't completely discouraged after Sunday's loss in Boston by the same score from Friday.

"We're in a losing mode," Karl said. "We're losing games, but our basketball has not been bad basketball. It's been not good enough to win basketball, which happens in the NBA every night. Just because you lose doesn't mean you don't play good basketball."

The numbers don't really back him up, especially defensively. Sacramento has allowed 111.3 points per 100 possessions during this 1-7 stretch, 6.4 more than it was giving up in its first 43 games.

"Biggest thing, I guess we've got to find a better energy and effort as a team," said DeMarcus Cousins, who said after Friday's loss that the team had a "bigger issue than just energy and effort" but wouldn't elaborate.

"We've got to find a solution, because right now whatever we're doing isn't working."

The Cavs' solution to being in first place in the Eastern Conference was to fire David Blatt after a season and a half of reports of locker room tension, and the jury is still out through nine games since Tyronn Lue has taken over. They're 6-3 after bouncing back from back-to-back defeats with Saturday's 99-84 win over New Orleans.

"We need to win every time we play, but coming off those two losses we had to show our mental toughness and understand we have to take care of home floor," said Kyrie Irving, who had 29 points to bump his average over the past six games to 24.7.

Saturday's victory came without Kevin Love, who suffered a bruised left thigh a night earlier against Boston and is questionable for this one. Matthew Dellavedova has missed the last three with a sore left hamstring, and his status is unclear.

The Kings have their own injury concerns heading into Monday's game. Rudy Gay missed Sunday's loss with a left ankle sprain and Ben McLemore sat with a sprained right wrist.

Sacramento might not be the only team disillusioned by Karl these days. The coach provided the Cavaliers a bit of bulletin-board material before Sunday's loss, saying that he thought Boston - which bested Cleveland on a buzzer-beater Friday - could "have a chance" against the Cavs in a playoff series.

Cousins had 26 points, 13 boards and four steals in a home win over Cleveland last season that LeBron James missed, while James, Love and Irving combined for 63 in a 101-90 victory at Quicken Loans Arena.

James-led teams have gone 14-1 in their last 15 against the Kings.
