The New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> losing streak extended to six with a 118-106 loss to the Trail Blazers, with each of the last four by double digits.<\/p>\n

The Pelicans have allowed 122 points per game during this slide, and teams have shot 49.8% from the field and 39.5% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t get much better for the Sacramento Kings<\/a>, who have just two wins in their last nine, and have also been bleeding points, allowing 123.7 over that stretch.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re also shorthanded Friday, with Keegan Murray (ankle) and Russell Westbrook (toe) already ruled out, and Malik Monk<\/a> (shoulder) listed as questionable.<\/p>\n
