Knock Down the Long Range Efficiently

With the Sacramento Kings, its all about Boogie Cousins, both offensively and defensively. On the defensive end Cousins protects the paint well, and in all likelihood Dallas won’t be able to get good looks inside very often.

Thats why it will be imperative that they shoot the trey ball well, and take all the chances they get. They shouldn’t be excessive or stupid with it, but if Wesley Matthews or Harrison Barnes gets a good opportunity, they need to make the Kings pay and open up the floor.

As a team, Dallas is only shooting 32% this season, good for 28th in the NBA. These numbers won’t cut it if the Mavs struggle to score in the paint.
