Sacramento Kings (20-57) and New Orleans Pelicans (25-52) will clash in the Western Conference on Friday night at the Golden 1 Center. The Kings will be eager to build momentum at home after enduring a disastrous campaign. They’re at the bottom of the conference standings, 41 games off the top. However, the Kings won four of their last 10 games, including a 115-123 win over the Raptors on Wednesday. This result means they can still finish above the Jazz this season.
Like the Kings, the Pelicans have also had some serious challenges this season. They’ve lost seven of their last 10 assignments to crash out of the play-in tournament. The Pelicans are coming off a 118-106 loss against the Trail Blazers on the road, with this result once again highlighting their defensive weaknesses. James Borrego will try to find answers to their inability to see out games in their recent slide.
