Game Preview
One of the pair of quarterfinal matches of the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament is set for Monday evening, with the Sacramento Kings taking on the New Orleans Pelicans. The league’s newest competition is entering its knockout stages today. The game on Monday marks the first of the In-Season Tournament as well as the 75th regular-season matchup between both sides. The Pelicans have prevailed in 6 of the previous 10 matches over the Kings stretching as far as April 12, 2021, and now lead the series 41–33.
Everything the Kings have accomplished over the last two seasons would be validated if they triumphed in the In-Season Tournament. They have won three of their last four matches, notably one versus the reigning champion Nuggets, demonstrating their recent strong play. It would be pointless to spend time complimenting De’Aaron Fox’s play because, in the event that the Kings were sporting a slightly improved record, he would currently be ranked as the MVP. Sacramento has had an excellent beginning to the campaign with an 11-7 record, particularly at home where they have fallen just twice in their last 8 matches.
Not hosting the NBA In-Season Tournament quarterfinals inside their home arena could be a concern for the Pelicans, who have lost three straight games when playing on their travels lately. Being victorious against the Kings twice already this season will be their foundation for hope. However, the Pels have only won once in their last seven away contests, both of which were played at the Smoothie King Center. Following a protracted hiatus, C.J. McCollum has come back to the starting lineup and has scored 20 as well as 19 points in his last two games. With only 10.8 three-pointers made per match, which represents the fourth-lowest average in the NBA, New Orleans ranks among the NBA’s lowest-scoring sides.
