Head to Head
Teams Last 10
New Orleans Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans lost their last game against the Golden State Warriors on the road. That was their fifth loss in their last six games, as the Pelicans have dropped to ninth in the Western Conference standings. Here, the Pelicans are banged up, but they cannot afford to feel sorry for themselves as they face an elite Kings team while in the middle of the race for the postseason.
New Orleans will be without Zion Williamson, Jose Alvarado, Larry Nance Jr., and Josh Richardson here. They could also be without Jonas Valanciunas, who is questionable due to a calf ailment. Valanciunas would be incredibly valuable to have on the floor for this game, given that New Orleans is going to have to defend Domantas Sabonis of Sacramento here.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings are in third place in the Western Conference going into this week of NBA action. But they are trending toward moving up in the standings, as they continue to play well while the second place Memphis Grizzlies are having all kinds of issues on and off the floor. Here, the Kings will aim to rebound from their home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in their last outing.
The big question for Sacramento here will be whether or not they will have De’Aaron Fox available. He is dealing with a hamstring injury, which could slow down one of the most dynamic scorers in the NBA in crunch time. If he is able to go, the Kings could pick up a sixth win in their last seven outings by getting the better of the Pelicans.
