Two teams with a 1-3 record will clash at Golden 1 Center Thursday night when the Sacramento Kings host the New Orleans Pelicans.

I'm not a big fan of this "two-man team" which New Orleans could be described as, but I sure give the Pels the advantage in this matchup. Their All-Star Anthony Davis tweaked his left knee five minutes into the first quarter in a 103-93 loss at Portland on Tuesday and he's questionable for this game, but Davis' front-court companion DeMarcus Cousins is ready to go.

Cousins will no doubt have the visitors pumped up help him beat his old team. "My representatives, they told me I shouldn't stay," Cousins said of refusing "an opportunity to leave" when the team hired George Karl in 2015 to coach the team. "But, you know, I guess being stubborn or loyal, I wanted to make things work. How you going to be loyal to something that ain't loyal to any player that's ever played the game? I was a fool." Cousins shared with ESPN.com's Marc Spears on Wednesday.

No love lost there, and I like Cousins to get out of Sacramento victorious.

My selection is an 8* play on New Orleans Pelicans.
