The New Orleans Pelicans play host to the Sacramento Kings at Smoothie King Center on Monday evening.

The Kings (22-31) have dropped their last six games. They will look to end the slide and add to their, 10-16, road record, as they face the second and final game of a home stand. De'Aaron Fox continues to lead the Kings, averaging 24.7 points, 7.2 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals, in 35 minutes per game. Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 13.0 points, 5.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals, while Harrison Barnes is averaging 15.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. Marvin Bagley III (hand) remains out. The Kings do a good job on the offensive end, averaging 114.3 points per game, which is ninth most in the league, and they are shooting an average of 48.1 percent from the field, which is sixth best in the league. However, they need work on the defensive end, as they are giving up an average of 118.7 points per game, which is second most in the league.

Meanwhile, this marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Pelicans (24-29), as they are coming off win in Cleveland on Sunday night. The Pelicans trailed by four points heading into the final frame of Sunday's contest, but they outscored the hosts, 26-15, in the fourth to close out their second straight win. Zion Williamson continued his great play as he led the Pelicans with 38 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks, in 36 minutes. Brandon Ingram tallied 27 points, eight assists, four rebounds and a steal, while Naji Marshall added 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block. The Pelicans will look to keep rolling and add to their, 15-13, home record, as they get set to face the first game of a two-game home stand. Lonzo Ball (hip) did not play on Sunday and remains questionable for action on Monday.
