They had gone onto win four games in a row but when New Orleans Pelicans faced off against Los Angeles Lakers yesterday, the side’s resurgence was curtailed. While the defeat was an imminent one, it saw them side’s winning spree being halted, seeing them once again need to commence from scratch in a bid to make ascendancy in the points tally.
While the side will not be massively deterred by yesterday’s 123-113 defeat with it being a closely fought one, they know they can’t afford any further slipups. Slumped in 14th position in the Western Conference, the side need to emulate the same rampant displays which have infused fresh life into their season and seen them revive what looked like a dead campaign.
And when they step out onto the court for the second game in as many days, they’ll be quietly confident of fathoming up a win on the day. It’s down to the identity of their opponents with the side squaring off against a laggard Sacramento Kings side, one which finds itself in 12th spot in the conference.
The Kings are themselves embroiled in a rut, one they did manage to slaw out of the last time around with a 128-123 over the Grizzlies. They’ll be looking to emulate that same display come today in a pivotal encounter for either side with a win taking paramount importance for both of our competion of the day.
Probable Winner
This will be an extremely closely contested affair with the barest of margin coming into play at the end of the day. What serves New Orleans Pelicans well is their more astute defence, one which should come up with a slew of rebounds and deflections to keep a cleansheet for the side on the day.

Dream 11 Picks
Point Guard
He’s come up with the 6.5 apg to see us make Derrick Favours form New Orleans Pelicans the first player to find a spot in our Dream 11 side for the day. His alley-oops and layups have transpired fruitfully for the side, seeing him flourish as a point guard to become a quintessential performer for the side.
Elsewhere, the opposition find representation in the one player as well with Yogi Ferrell being picked up by us from the unit.
Shooting Guard
After a solid display against the Lakers, E’Twaun Moore from New Orleans Pelicans will find a place in our framework for the day. The player not only opened the zone to send down a slew of treys but came up with quick break points and transitions as well for the side to become our pick in this facet.
Small Forward
His side’s leading scorer with the 20.4 ppg, Brandon Ingram was always going to be an instant selection for us for this one. He’s going to rejoice at the paper thin defence of his opposition, a side he’s bound to judiciously send down a slew of spin and slams and reverse scoops on the day.
Trevor Ariza from Sacramento Kings earns a role in our side for this one. His floating jump points have seen him pull off points in the paint for his side which along with hs ability to send down triples from the midrange region make him sublime value for the day.
Power Forward
He’s leading the ranks of his side’s rebounds with an impressive 10.2 rpg to make Derick Favors from the visiting side our first selecting in this component of our Dream 11 side. Elsewhere, the Kings find representation in the indentify of Nemanja Bjelica, a name who’ll be asked to hold for this side in defence.
And his ability to position himself articulately under his pole and come up with deflections, rebounds, steals and blocks see us move in with the power forward for the day.
Centre
Jaxson Haynes was a pivotal name for his side yesterday, a figure who ensured he screened and guarded their players to ensure his side never chased too big a deficit. It also saw him pull off turnovers as well for his side and pull off second chance points to see him being nailed down as our culminating player.
Star Player
Ingram will represent us as the star player for this one.
