KEY GAME INFORMATION
SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: With Isaiah Thomas out, DARREN COLLISON steps in at the point. He looked good backing up Chris Paul in L.A. and will benefit from a wide-open offense. But it's not clear if can he handle full-time minutes after flopping as a starter in Dallas . . . BEN McLEMORE has to get it going early if he's going to keep his starting job. There's raw talent, but McLemore has a reputation for fading into the background, and was wholly unimpressive last season . . . NIK STAUSKAS will push McLemore for minutes immediately. He'll be overmatched defensively at times, but he can shoot it and moves the ball well offensively . . . It seems like RAY McCALLUM will be a solid enough back-up point guard for the next few years . . . RAMON SESSIONS will push Collison for minutes and could eventually unseat him as the Kings' starter. FORWARDS: RUDY GAY is a low-efficiency player who needs the ball in his hands, but head coach Michael Malone seems willing to let him do his thing . . . Power forward is a black hole in Sacramento. JASON THOMPSON might open the season as the Kings' primary 4, though he struggled mightily in his first season under Malone . . . DERRICK WILLIAMS has never shed that 'tweener label. The team will try to milk some second unit productivity out of him . . . REGGIE EVANS will continue to turn flopping into an art form. An obnoxious art form . . . CARL LANDRY is a question mark as he works his way back from a torn meniscus . . . Tell the world OMRI CASSPI is coming home. CENTERS: He made some real strides under Malone last year, and DeMARCUS COUSINS' improved shot selection has finally made him one of the league's better big men. He spends much less time floating on the perimeter hoisting contested 18-footers.
NEW ORLEANS: GUARDS: He's set to return from shin surgery, and the Pelicans need JRUE HOLIDAY to rescue this backcourt. He'll play as many minutes as he can handle . . . ERIC GORDON seems to be playing at half-speed. While his defense is atrocious, he's still an efficient scorer . . . Sixth man TYREKE EVANS will play solid minutes. He has the aggressiveness of an alpha, but he never developed a complete offensive game . . . The Pels seem just about done with AUSTIN RIVERS. He's still overmatched . . . RUSS SMITH could have a future as a scoring sixth man. He'll need injuries in front of him to crack this rotation . . . JIMMER FREDETTE can shoot, but can't stay on the court as arguably the league's biggest defensive liability. FORWARDS: The lone bright spot on this team, ANTHONY DAVIS is a bona fide star. He has improved defensively in space and as a rim protector, and his offensive game is coming along nicely . . . RYAN ANDERSON returns after missing most of last season with a back injury, which could potentially linger. If healthy, he'll play big minutes as a much-needed floor spacer . . . JOHN SALMONS will look to earn a rotation spot after being scooped up off waivers . . . After a few decent moments late last season, LUKE BABBITT will try to reinvent himself as a stretch-4. Unfortunately, he still can't guard anyone . . . DARIUS MILLER is still hanging around as a practice player. CENTERS: OMER ASIK provides a bodyguard for Anthony Davis. He'll also help clean up the many mistakes of this horrendous perimeter defense . . . ALEXIS AJINCA did enough late last season to warrant a look as the Pelicans No. 2 center . . . JEFF WITHEY can protect the rim, and might be able to carve out a role in his second season in head coach Monty Williams' system.

*Kings-Pelicans Preview* ========================

By JACK CASSIDY STATS Writer

Sacramento (26-45) at New Orleans (37-34), 8:00 p.m. EDT

The New Orleans Pelicans can still make a charge for the Western Conference's final playoff spot, but they've done themselves no favors with a costly losing streak.

The visiting Sacramento Kings have trended in exactly the opposite direction, and could continue the Pelicans' slide by matching a season-best winning streak at five Friday night.

New Orleans (37-34) has lost four straight and sits 3 1/2 games back of eighth seed Oklahoma City with 11 to play. Anthony Davis returned after missing the first two games of the Pelicans' losing streak, but has been unable to turn the tide despite solid production.

Davis tallied 26 points and 12 rebounds in a 107-100 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, then had 24 and 14 Wednesday in Houston as New Orleans blew an early 17-point lead and fell 95-93.

Davis' free-throw woes didn't help against the Rockets as he went 6 of 14.

"He felt like he let the guys down. I explained to him, 'It doesn't come down to that,'" coach Monty Williams said. "The leaders, he and I, we take more blame than anybody. That's just the way it is. Fair or unfair, that's his new normal. For him to be great, that's got to be his life."

Instead, Williams sees his team's consistency as the primary issue. Eric Gordon managed only six points Wednesday after scoring 23 on Sunday, and Tyreke Evans committed a game-high six turnovers against the Rockets.

"We have to be a better executing team," Williams said. "I explained to the guys that this time of year you have to be a better executing team. You're not going to fool many teams. Everybody knows your sets, they're calling it out."

Sacramento's suddenly improved defense could cause additional problems for the Pelicans. The Kings (26-45) have surrendered fewer than 100 points in three of their last four games - a feat they accomplished only four times in the previous 26 - while holding opponents to a 43.1 shooting percentage.

DeMarcus Cousins had 24 points and seven Kings scored in double figures as Sacramento stretched its winning streak to four by beating Phoenix 108-99 on Wednesday. The Kings hadn't even won back-to-back games since November prior to this stretch.

"We can build confidence, which definitely is something this team needs," Cousins said. "We took a lot of hits through the season. This is going to be a positive point for us. It's like training camp for us, except we started early."

The Kings' run has put them in position to finish with their best record in seven years. They need just three victories to reach 29 for the season, something they haven't done since winning 38 in 2007-08.

The Pelicans and Kings, who meet again next Friday in Sacramento, have split their first two meetings. Davis scored 28 in his team's 106-100 road victory on Nov. 18, but was held to 14 points a week later as the Kings won 99-89 in New Orleans.
