KEY GAME INFORMATION

SACRAMENTO: BACKCOURT: PG Darren Collison replaces Rajon Rondo in the starting lineup, or at least he will after serving an eight-game suspension for domestic violence. PG Ty Lawson will sub in for him'if he can make it to the regular season without getting cut, that is. Maybe it will be PG Jordan Farmar? No one will blame SG Arron Afflalo for not putting forth full effort for this team, but SG Ben McLemore needs to prove he belongs in an NBA rotation. . . . FRONTCOURT: A happy, productive C DeMarcus Cousins is something of a mythical creature in Sacramento, but has been seen before. There's no reason to believe Cousins will be happy this year, though, and he's right not to be. SF Rudy Gay has expressed similar discontent, although it's fair to ask if he can be a part of a winning team anywhere. It would be nice to see C Willie Cauley-Stein have a more polished offensive game in his second season. . . . BOTTOM LINE: Lawson's preseason drama (in which he missed a team flight) is just the latest example of dysfunction for the Kings. It seems likely that Gay will be gone before the season's up, and wholly possible that Cousins will be, too.

NEW ORLEANS: BACKCOURT: PG Jrue Holiday is out indefinitely taking care of his wife, who is ill. His presence will make a significant impact when he returns, as the offense runs through him. G Tyreke Evans can do a lot of things, but is much less steady as a ball handler. No one doubts rookie SG Buddy Hield can shoot, but he has a lot to prove in other areas. New Orleans also signed SG Lance Stephenson in the offseason. . . . FRONTCOURT: It should tell you something that PF Anthony Davis had something of a disappointing season with over 24 points and 10 rebounds per game. He's still only 23, and ought to improve for years to come. Perhaps coach Alvin Gentry should move him to center, because Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca are both weak spots for New Orleans when they're on the floor there. . . . BOTTOM LINE: It was an underwhelming season in New Orleans last year, in no small part due to injuries. Their ability to go over the total would seem, right now, highly dependent on when Holiday returns. Frankly, he has more important issues to deal with.

PREVIEW

Cousins faces former team as Kings visit Pelicans

NEW ORLEANS -- There was no cartoon bubble above DeMarcus Cousins' head Thursday to indicate what he truly meant to say -- as opposed to what he actually said -- but there is no question the New Orleans Pelicans' newly minted center is anticipating the chance to play for the first time against his old team, the Sacramento Kings, on Friday night at the Smoothie King Center.

"It's just another chance to come out, play hard and try to get a win," Cousins said, smiling, after several questions about what it will be like to the Kings, who traded him to New Orleans in a blockbuster deal during the All-Star break.

Cousins, who was chosen fifth overall by the Kings in the 2010 NBA draft, eventually came closer to the truth, saying he would enjoy reuniting with his former teammates and coaching staff.

In his 6 1/2 seasons in Sacramento, Cousins established himself as one of the league's premier centers -- as well as a lightning rod on the court for his emotional style of play. Cousins' Sacramento career was tempestuous at times, but he insisted he was pleased despite never making the playoffs.

"I enjoyed my time there," Cousins said. "I developed a lot of relationships. It'll be good to see the guys again. I haven't seen them since before the (All-Star) break. It'll be a good chance to see those guys and laugh a little bit. But seriously, it's another chance for us to come out and get better. That's how I'm approaching the game."

Kings guard Garrett Temple said he expects fireworks.

"If I was in (Cousins') shoes, I'd come out trying to take it to us," Temple said after the Kings' loss to the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry said no matter how much Cousins tries to downplay the initial reunion, he knows his emotions will be off the chart, trying to prove something to the team that traded him away.

"I think guys are kidding themselves when they say it's just another game. It's never just another game," Gentry said. "It's just like coaches, when you get fired by a team and you play them, you want to beat that team. It's not like when you play anyone else. It's human nature."

The game has some meaning to the Pelicans (32-43). They are five games out of the eighth playoff seed in the Western Conference and probably would have to win their final seven games to have any chance of leap-frogging the Portland Trail Blazers for the final postseason spot.

The Pelicans, who are 9-9 since the Cousins trade, have two more home games remaining -- including their home finale Tuesday against the Nuggets -- before finishing the season with four consecutive road games. Making the road games even more challenging are the two sets of back-to-backs (Nuggets-Warriors and Lakers-Trail Blazers).

Since going 2-6 with Cousins alongside Anthony Davis, the Pelicans have won seven of their past 10 games. Cousins said the team's recent play is indicative of the great things that can happen for the Pelicans next season.

Davis has scored more than 30 points in each the past four games, and Cousins said the two are learning how to play off each other.

"Honestly, I think we've both eased up the pressure on each other," Cousins said. "In the past, there were games where it felt like there were a hundred people just hanging all over me. But, since I've been here ... I'm seeing new defensive schemes that I've never seen in my career before. I definitely think we've eased up the pressure on one other and we're more free out there."

Sacramento (29-46) had won two straight against playoff teams (the Los Angeles Clippers and the Memphis Grizzlies) before losing 104-84 at Utah on Wednesday.

The Kings are 5-13 since trading Cousins for guards Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans and Langston Galloway and the Pelicans' No. 1 pick in the 2017 draft (as long as New Orleans does not have a top-three pick).

Cousins, who scored 41 points last week in a victory over Memphis, said he will be ready against his old team.

"I'm not trying to make it personal or anything like that," Cousins said. "I was joking when I said it, but I'm really serious: My only focus is to go in and get a win. This is just another opportunity for us to go in and get better. ... To come in and try to make it about me, that would be a selfish move on my end."
