The New Orleans Pelicans will take on the Sacramento Kings at the Smoothie King Center Friday night, coming off of a 123-114 win over the Denver Nuggets.
In their first meeting this season, a rocky start and unfavorable halftime deficit was reversed as DeMarcus Cousin took control down the stretch. Ultimately, Cousins finished the night with a respectable 41 points and 23 rebounds in his return to the Golden 1 Center.
It was a performance of necessity for Cousins due to the absence of Anthony Davis to, and we may be facing a mirror of that this Friday.
