Great start by the Pelicans, jumping out to a 16-5 lead over the Kings. They’re showing a real commitment in pressuring the ball defensively. Offensively, excellent man/ball movement and Jonas Valanciunas/Zion Williamson are owning the paint against Domantas Sabonis/Barnes. – 10:13 PM

The Pelicans have silenced the crowd here in Sacramento early by jumping out to a 16-5 lead. All five starters have scored for and they’re outscoring the Kings 10-0 in the paint. Offense has come very easy early on. – 10:13 PM

Pelicans out to a 16-5 start to tonight’s contest before Mike Brown has to burn the timeout. Kings offense looks pretty clunky, not much rhythm and the ball is sticking. – 10:12 PM

Have to love the way #Pelicans have started this game. They are making shots yes, but the defense is swarming and forcing disjointed Kings possessions. They were up against the shot clock a couple times immediately – 10:12 PM

It’s 16-5 Pelicans at the 7:36 mark of the first. Kings are struggling on both ends of the court. All five starters have scored for New Orleans. – 10:11 PM

Just wrapped up speaking with Kevin Huerter for the first time since suffering his season ending injury. Says he opted for surgery because he’s had a history with shoulder dislocations previously. – 9:23 PM

Damion Lee (knee) remains the only Suns player on their injury report as he’s ruled out for Friday’s game at Sacramento. He hasn’t played all season. #Suns – 9:06 PM

I got the chance to ask Mike Brown about the Kings lack of paint scoring & the (my opinion) over-reliance on the three point shot.
Mike gave me a long, well thought out answer. Addressed his OKC postgame comments, and how paint touch sprays can be more than just 3-point shots.… pic.twitter.com/9PQDDALcvs – 8:47 PM

Draymond Green and Klay Thompson are both out tonight in Portland. Gary Payton II is now questionable with calf tightness. The Warriors will try to beat the 21-58 Blazers without a chunk of their rotation, setting up a huge back-to-back at home tomorrow vs Pelicans. – 4:32 PM
