Here is all of the important information for the New Orleans Pelicans vs. Kings.
Three games into the NBA restart and the New Orleans Pelicans aren’t in a much different position than when they started.
They are still in the playoff hunt and can still control their own destiny somewhat after Memphis and Sacramento got off to a slow start, losing their first three.
It was also announced that Jaren Jackson Jr. would miss the rest of the season with an injury, making things even worse for the Grizzlies.
The Pelicans now have to catch both the Spurs and Trail Blazers, which is possible, and it’s starting to look look like the play-in series might involve two teams that are not Memphis.
Will one of them be the Pelicans? They have to keep things rolling against the Kings in another must-win game in the bubble.
Here is the information you need for the New Orleans Pelicans vs. Sacramento Kings.

Injury Reports
The official injury report has not been released but the New Orleans Pelicans will be without Darius Miller.
Marvin Bagley III is still out for the Kings and will be for the remainder of the season. The Kings could have used him in the last game, as they had to run out a lineup of four guards most of the night and got very little from the forward position.
Best Fantasy Sports Bets
Last game I picked Josh Hart and Grayson Allen as under-the-radar picks and they both hit. If anyone is reading this, you’re welcome.
Brandon Ingram put up a nice overall stat line against Memphis and will look to keep it going. He still hasn’t had a breakout game, so there is a 40 point explosion waiting to happen.
Zion Williamson played 25 inefficient minutes and filled out the stat sheet, but is still a stay-away in my opinion.
I will continue to promote my man Josh Hart, who was the best player on the floor against Memphis and continues to be a value play off the bench. Same for J.J. Redick, who is cheap at around $3.1K, but is getting minutes and plenty of shots.
He went three for seven from long-range last game and looks primed to break out.
The Kings are going to come with heavy doses of De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield, who both put up inefficient numbers against Dallas.
A good under-the-radar play is Nemanja Bjelica, who grabbed 13 boards in the last game and will be the primary big against the Pelicans.
