What’s left?
After tonight, there are only two games left for the Pelicans and Kings. This game could swing the pendulum one way or the other, but let’s not forget these last two games. The Pelicans sit in sixth place tonight, but they have to face three teams that are currently below them in the playoffs and have their sights set on them while trying to climb the ladder. The Kings have it a little easier, although their next game could be as tricky, if not trickier, than tonight’s. Here is what awaits the two teams:
Kings: against the Suns on Friday, against the Trail Blazers on Sunday
Pelicans: @ Warriors Friday, vs. Lakers Sunday
