Malik Monk missed his second consecutive preseason battle due to an illness.<\/p>\n<p>New addition Russell Westbrook spent his first game on Sacramento\u2019s bench, but did not suit up as he\u2019s returning to game conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>That left head coach Doug Christie in a tough spot with his starting unit, with Luka Doncic on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>He elected to begin with Dennis Schroder, Zach LaVine, Nique Clifford, Isaac Jones, and Drew Eubanks.<\/p>\n<p>Clifford was assigned to slow down Doncic from the jump, a big ask for their rookie.
