Reg Jax has played well last 3 games. Can't make a 3, but his floater is deadly.
Play off of him and bait him into shooting 3's. Who guards Jax, Burks?
Zubac has been good too. Banging folks out of the way (as does Hartenstein, but with more fouls).
Kennard and Batum their main outside threats. And they are slow-footed, so can make them rush shots with good closeouts (neither much of a drive threat, more fake and sidestep 3 players). A night day B2B for LAC. So Knix should come out with energy and go at them hard from the get go. Boston a poor shooter willing to chuck. Another guy, along with RegJax, you want to encourage 3's from. Ter Mann the type of wildcard who might kill us. Keep track of him. Don't let him rampage.
This should be a good matchup for Randle and RJB. Batum will handle duties on both of them I expect. (TyLu had Batum guarding Embiid 4Q!). Morris too slowfooted and foul prone to check Julius or RJB. This could be a game to dust off the Randle/ObiT pairing (which i'm not fond of). Whole Clips team seems foul prone (though i haven't checked if that's true).
Batum is very good at double teams (Reg Jax too), so Randle needs to be aware or that.
Knix really need a W before heading on the Road. Another Home L would be demoralizing.
Teams have nearly the same record, but Clips sans their star tandem.
