Two teams located in the bottom half of the Western Conference standings, the Sacramento Kings and the New Orleans Pelicans, clash at the Golden 1 Center. The Kings are in 15th place in the standings, while the Pelicans are in 13th place. Here's our match prediction.
The Sacramento Kings are the worst team in the West with a 14-49 record. Their path to the play-in tournament is rapidly fading as they are 16 games behind the desired spot.
In their recent match, they beat the Phoenix Suns 114-103 at home. That marked their second consecutive defeat. Despite that setback, Maxime Raynaud led the team with a game-high 22 points and ten rebounds.
The Kings are privileged with home advantage again. The aim is to halt an eight-game winless run. Nonetheless, pulling that off will require a major effort, considering that they will be without De'Andre Hunter, Zach LaVine, Keegan Murray, and Domantas Sabonis due to injury.
The New Orleans Pelicans are starting to lose their rhythm as they head into this clash, having dropped two games. Before this, they were red-hot, winning four straight games.
Their recent setback was against the Lakers. The final result was a 110-101 road defeat.
The Pelicans are playing in their third match of a four-game road trip. The objective is clear-cut: end a two-game skid. It's worth noting that they've won three of their last five outings.
