Missing Rudy Gay (concussion) stretches an already thin group, but the same argument can be made\u00a0for New Orleans&#8217; second unit and\u00a0injury woes. Unlucky for the Kings, reserve sharpshooter Ryan Anderson (knee) is expected to play after returning Wednesday from an 18-game absence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0Live and die by the 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In two losses to the Pelicans this season, the Kings surrendered a total 18 3-pointers, while in their November 25 victory Sacramento held New Orleans to 3-of-17 triples.
