One of the more matchups that will be key to either team winning is the one between the power forwards. Both are players who are full of energy and exciting to watch.

These two are the power horses of the team. Once they get a momentum, the rest of their team feeds off of their energy.

Young has the edge on experience while Randle wins in the height advantage. Also, Randle has been improving his game all off-season.

He has learned new moves he may display tonight. Given both are energetic despite Young being a veteran, this will be an exciting match up to watch pay attention to tonight.
