KEY GAME INFORMATION
NEW ORLEANS: LAST SEASON: 33-49, finished tied for 12th in Western Conference.
COACH: Alvin Gentry (fifth season with Pelicans, 145-183; 17th season overall, 480-553).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Lonzo Ball (9.9 ppg), G Jrue Holiday (21.2), F Brandon Ingram (18.3), F Zion Williamson (rookie), C Derrick Favors (11.8).
KEY LOSSES: F Anthony Davis, F Julius Randle, G Elfrid Payton.
KEY ADDITIONS: F Williamson, F Ingram, G Ball, C Favors, G J.J. Redick, G Nickeil Alexander-Walker, C Jaxson Hayes.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Williamson was the No. 1 overall pick in last summer's NBA draft, was a highlight machine at Duke and has looked fearless in his first NBA preseason ' taking the ball to the hoop against the best interior defenders in the league and scoring more than 20 points in multiple games. The 6-foot-6, 285-pound rookie is a social media phenomenon and filling arenas everywhere he goes. But the additions of Ball and Redick will be important to New Orleans as well.
OUTLOOK: Of the Pelicans' four new starters brought in by Griffin, one was picked No. 1 overall this summer and two Ingram and Ball were picked second overall within the previous three years by the Lakers before being packaged with Josh Hart and draft picks in a trade sending Davis to Los Angeles. Combined with savvy veterans like Holiday and Favors, not to mention Redick off the bench, there are high hopes in New Orleans that the Pelicans are trending upward and might even contend for a playoff spot this season. The Pelicans also expect 2019 first-round picks Alexander-Walker and Hayes to contribute this season.
SACRAMENTO: LAST SEASON: 39-43, finished ninth in Western Conference.
COACH: Luke Walton (first season with Kings, fourth season overall, 98-148).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G De'Aaron Fox (17.3 ppg), G Buddy Hield (20.7), F Harrison Barnes (14.3), F Marvin Bagley III (14.9), C Dewayne Dedmon (10.8).
KEY LOSSES: C Willie Cauley-Stein, F Corey Brewer.
KEY ADDITIONS: Dedmon, F Trevor Ariza, G Cory Joseph, F Richaun Holmes.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: The Kings are building around emerging stars Fox and Bagley. Fox took a major step in his second season to become one of the most complete point guards in the NBA. His speed fuels Sacramento's up-tempo attack and Walton hopes to get improved defense and 3-point shooting this season out of Fox to make him a more complete player. Bagley started only a handful of games as a rookie but took big strides in the second half when he showed the ability to be a top scorer. He increased his scoring average more than five points per game after the All-Star break to 18.5 and the Kings hope be builds on that this season.
OUTLOOK: The Kings extended the longest active playoff drought in the NBA last season when they missed the postseason for the 13th straight season. But they won their most games of any season during that stretch and finished ninth in the conference. The players view getting into the playoffs as a benchmark for a successful season but that will be hard in a deep Western Conference that only got stronger with moves this offseason.
PREVIEW
Kings brace for full dose of Pelicans' Williamson
 

The New Orleans Pelicans turned Zion Williamson loose and it paid off.

They're going to need more of that if they hope to make the playoffs.

The organization was extremely cautious in monitoring their prized rookie's minutes in the first two games after the NBA restart. His conditioning was behind schedule after he missed 13 days of work while tending to a family emergency.

He wasn't on the floor down the stretch of a two-point loss to the Utah Jazz in the opener and he didn't play at all in the fourth quarter of Saturday's lost cause against the Los Angeles Clippers.

But after playing a total of 29 minutes in those two games, Williamson played 25 and scored six of his 23 points down the stretch of a must-win 109-99 victory against Memphis on Monday.

He figures to play significant minutes when New Orleans plays Sacramento on Thursday near Orlando in a game crucial to both teams' playoff hopes.

"My competitive spirit was turned on," Williamson said. "I was just happy the training staff and my team trust me to be able to close the game out."

The Pelicans (29-38) closed out their first victory in three games during the restart.

"Just having Zion out there at the end of the game I think is big," guard Jrue Holiday said. "I feel like it takes a lot of pressure off people. (We have) so many threats on the floor, so many different shooters out there, so many different threats, it kind of makes it easier on us."

New Orleans is within striking distance of a play-in position with five games to play.

The Kings (28-39) are a game behind the Pelicans after losing in overtime against Dallas on Tuesday to fall to 0-3 in the restart.

"We just have to learn how to close games," guard Kent Bazemore said. "I told the guys after the game, 'We're progressing, not regressing.' We got five games left and if we figure it out -- we run these five off -- who knows where we are?

"We're still right in the thick of things. There isn't a team who's too out in front. ... We're right there. The optimism is still there. There's no locker room that I'm going to be a part of that my guys aren't going to feel like we aren't still in it. So, until we get out of here, whenever that is, we're going to have a chance."

In order to have a better chance they can't afford a free-throw disparity like the one they had Tuesday. Dallas made 39 of 50 free throws and Sacramento made 8 of 12.

"All game long, they kept going to the foul line," Kings coach Luke Walton said. "I've never seen a 50 free throw game before. Our whole team was in foul trouble all night. It was tough to keep a rhythm going."

The Pelicans won the only previous meeting this season, prevailing 117-115 in Sacramento on Jan. 4. The teams were prepared to meet again in Sacramento on March 11 in the final game before the league went on hiatus, but that game was postponed shortly before it was scheduled to tip off.

They will meet again on Tuesday.
