Following the festivities of Mardi Gras, the Sacramento Kings will face the New Orleans Pelicans in the Big Easy on Wednesday night in their first night of a back-to-back on their Western Conference road swing. Both teams are coming off of big wins, the Pels more emphatic in a exclamatory beating of the Los Angeles Lakers while the Kings took care of business on Monday night in Oklahoma City. Nevertheless, both teams have their eyes set on the 10th seed for an opportunity to debut in the coveted play-in tournament.
Despite their sloppy start to the season, New Orleans has done a fantastic job keeping their head above water in the absence of Zion Williamson.
