There's a reason CJ McCollum is one of, if not the most, feared players to suit up against the Sacramento Kings. He added another 'Kings Killer' game to his resume, as his 43 points led the New Orleans Pelicans to a 140-133 victory over the Kings.

Sacramento trailed 98-95 going into the fourth quarter. The Pelicans went up 111-102 with 7:28 to go. The Kings came back to tie the game on a three-point play by LaVine and reclaimed the lead on a putback dunk by Sabonis with 3:06 remaining.

New Orleans looks to end its 10-game skid when the New Orleans Pelicans play Sacramento. Thursday's meeting is the first of the season between the squads.
