The Sacramento Kings (0-4) visit the New Orleans Pelicans (0-4) for an NBA regular season game on Thursday, October 29, at Smoothie King Center.
Both teams are looking for their first win early this season.
The Pelicans were very close to winning three of their four games. They lost to the Indiana Pacers in the season opener by three points, and then followed it up with a one-point loss to the Utah Jazz. Last Saturday, the Pels also lost to the Denver Nuggets by six points in overtime.
However, their woes continued with another 104-91 loss to the same Nuggets team on Wednesday. The Pelicans could only shoot 23.3% from the three-point line, a glaring weakness for them through their first four games. They're currently 28th in the league in three-point percentage (29%).
Zion Williamson was a bright spot in that loss to the Nuggets, as he put up 25 points on 71.4% shooting. Williamson is averaging decent numbers of 21.8 points on 60.4% shooting this season.
As for the Kings, they've lost their first four games of the season by an average margin of 17.8 points. In their most recent game last Tuesday, the Kings were blown out by the San Antonio Spurs, 130-102.
