Sacramento enters as a slight one-point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook, accompanied by a total of 236. For the Kings, Kevin Huerter (finger) is questionable. On the injury front, CJ McCollum (collapsed lung) will miss tonight’s contest and there is still no timetable for his return.
The Pelicans squandered a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter and were clipped by a Karl-Anthony Towns floater with five seconds left. Meanwhile, New Orleans (6-7) is coming off a close 121-120 loss to the Timberwolves on Saturday. Domantas Sabonis led with 32 points and 13 rebounds as the Kings pulled away in the second half. Sacramento (8-4) has rattled off six straight victories heading into tonight’s game and is coming off a 129-113 win over Dallas last night. Thanksgiving week in the NBA will get underway tonight and the slate will feature the Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Pelicans playing the first of back-to-back matchups against each other.
