Kings at Pelicans: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Pelicans 122, Kings 115
Money line (ML)
The PELICANS (-160) are a good play straight up, as they look to repeat their performance from Jan. 17 when topped the Kings by a 128-123 count as 2.5-point favorites in California’s capital city.
Sacto has been hot, winning three of the past four games straight up while covering the spread in all four; the Pellies just seem to have their number.
Against the spread (ATS)
The PELICANS -3.5 (-110) are the play, even though the Kings have cashed against the number in four straight, including their three-game road trip through Florida. New Orleans has covered in six of its past eight at home against Sacramento in the Crescent City.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 233.5 (-110) is the lean, and it’s worth a small-unit wager. All signs point to an Over result. The Over is 13-3 in the past 16 meetings between these sides in NOLA, and seven of the previous eight meetings overall.
The Over has also cashed in seven in a row for the Pelicans, and 12 of the last 13 overall. The Kings enter on a 6-2 Over run in their past eight as underdogs, and nine of 13 overall.
