The 2-1 Pelicans will meet the 4-1 Kings in Rupp Arena Saturday night at 6:00 PM central time. This is the first time Anthony Davis will play basketball in front of his former fans in Lexington since the Pelicans squared off against the Wizards two years ago. New Orleans won that game 93-89, despite a 30-point outburst by Bradley Beal.
As David stated yesterday, Tyreke Evans will sit out the contest due to soreness in his right knee. This is the same knee that caused Evans to miss the preseason opener and had arthroscopic surgery back in May.
