When you have an outside shot at a playoff spot with a month left in the regular season, every game in which you are still alive is the biggest game of the season. Every contest matters more than the last one, and every loss inches you closer to packing your bags for the off season. But for the Sacramento Kings, Wednesday night’s contest against the New Orleans Pelicans will be likely have a playoff atmosphere.
For the first time all season, the Kings will be featured on national television as part of ESPN’s Wednesday night double header. Zion Williamson will make his first appearance in Sacramento, and his first appearance against the Kings altogether.
