They rank 27th in the NBA allowing 16.4 per game, and spilled\u00a021 turnovers in a loss to the Nets on December 29. Sacramento is capable of taking care of the ball, as a season-low nine turnovers versus the San Antonio Spurs on November 28 can attest, but focus has been a rare commodity\u00a0of late.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Second unit scoring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Kings bench played a large role in the collapse to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday, and their offensive production without\u00a0Carl Landry (wrist) has been frustratingly inconsistent. Someone will have to step up in the\u00a0Sacramento second unit to have a fighting chance against Brooklyn, which features former All-Star Brook Lopez off the pine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0KG&#8217;s last stand<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kevin Garnett has enjoyed a brilliant 20-year Hall of Fame career, which includes a public beatdown\u00a0of the Kings in the 2004 Western Conference Semifinals (he averaged 23.9 points, 15.4 rebounds and 3.4 blocks in the series).
