The New Orleans Pelicans went 5-0 against the Sacramento Kings during the regular season. New Orleans will need another win over Sacramento to keep its season alive when the two meet in Friday’s play-in tournament with the No. 8 seed on the line.

However, the Pelicans will have to beat the Kings without star Zion Williamson, who scored 40 points in Tuesday’s play-in tournament loss to the Los Angeles Lakers but suffered a hamstring injury.
