Someone needs to put a body on Jackson Hayes. He’s attacking the glass and making an impact. Kings’ lead down to 33-30. – 8:37 PM

Pelicans trail Kings 33-26 after 1. Would have been more if not for more off-balanced heroics by Devonte.
No sugar coating, they’re going to have to turn it up defensively. Hart/Jaxson let Fox go all the way to rim unabated, Hield allowed to come off screen with open 3 look. Etc – 8:35 PM

Herbert Jones was given the defensive assignment of De’Aaron Fox to open the game, an important job considering Fox had 38 pts or more in all three games vs. #Pelicans last season. Jones also guarded Trae Young a lot Wednesday vs. Hawks – 8:29 PM

On one hand, I feel bad for Pelicans fans to have to deal with constant chatter about Zion leaving New Orleans.
On the other, there are always a lot of empty seats when I watch a Pelicans home game. – 8:26 PM

De’Aaron Fox drains his first 3-point attempt. Good sign for the Kings. – 8:12 PM

So Herb Jones is on De’Aaron Fox to begin the game, Brandon Ingram is guarding Harrison Barnes. The duo nearly combined for a steal and bucket right out of the gates. – 8:11 PM

Zion is a franchise player, but so far, maybe RJ Barrett’s presence with Knicks felt more than Zion Williamson’s with Pelicans newsday.com/sports/basketb… via @Newsday – 7:49 PM

A different test for the Kings tonight, taking on a team in a similar tier to them.
Even this early, these games have major play-in implications. – 7:41 PM
