These three players stood out from the first three games between the Warriors and Kings this season.
Wiggins played in all three of the Warriors' first three games against the Kings this season, and was their second-leading scorer in all three games. He averaged 25 points 55.6 percent shooting and 39.1 percent beyond the arc. But the Warriors don't need him to be their second-best scorer.
That means strong defense, using his athleticism and crashing the glass for rebounds. Wiggins averaged 6.3 rebounds against the Kings this season, his third-best mark against teams he played multiple times. He can comfortably be the fourth scoring option and still be a major difference-maker in the series.The Kings are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2006. Their team is ripe with players who have very little playoff experience, or none at all.
Barnes doesn't have to be the Kings' main scoring option. Or their second, or their third. Or some nights, he doesn't even have to be their fourth option. Maybe not even the fifth.
