Sacramento Kings at New Orleans Pelicans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Sacramento Kings at New Orleans Pelicans odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Sacramento Kings (47-31) will face the New Orleans Pelicans (40-38) on Tuesday at Smoothie King Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Pelicans odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Kings lost 142-134 in overtime to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday as 16.5-point favorites at home. Despite the disappointing loss to San Antonio, Sacramento is only 2 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

The Pelicans covered as 4-point home favorites in Saturday’s 122-114 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. New Orleans is currently the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference, but it is only half a game back of the No. 5 seed.

This will be the 3rd meeting this season. The Pelicans won 136-104 at home on Feb. 4 and the Kings won 123-108 at home on March 6. The Over/Under is 1-1.

Kings at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 119, Kings 114

Moneyline

PASS.

Unless you believe the Kings will secure the win on the road or if you can get the Pelicans at -150 odds or better, I would avoid wagering on the moneyline in this matchup.

Against the spread

PELICANS -3.5 (-115) is how I’d bet with New Orleans hitting its stride recently. The Pelicans have won 7 of their last 10 games and each of those 7 wins was by 8-plus points.

Sacramento is 2-5 ATS in the last 7 road meetings and New Orleans is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games overall.

Over/Under

Despite these teams having dynamic offenses, UNDER 237.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this game. This is a pace-down game for the Kings and the Pelicans are 6th in defensive rating this season.

The Under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in New Orleans and the Under is also 5-2-1 in the last 8 meetings overall.

The Milwaukee Bucks (48-19) square off against the Sacramento Kings (40-26) on Monday at Golden 1 Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bucks vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Bucks lost 125-116 in overtime to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday and failed to cover as 3.5-point road underdogs. Milwaukee has won 19 of its last 21 games and is 1.5 games ahead of the Boston Celtics for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Kings covered as 3.5-point underdogs in Saturday’s 128-119 win over the Phoenix Suns. Sacramento is on a 3-game win streak and is the current No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

Bucks at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 126, Kings 123

Moneyline

BUCKS (-130) is how I’d play the moneyline in this matchup assuming that Antetokounmpo returns on Monday. Milwaukee has the best record in the NBA and is a solid 20-13 on the road.

Against the spread

BUCKS -2.5 (-105) is the pick in this contest despite Milwaukee being the road team. The Kings have been impressive this season, but if Antetokounmpo plays, it’ll be a tough game for the No. 2 seed in the West.

Milwaukee is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 road games and is 11-5 ATS in its last 16 road meetings against Sacramento.

Over/Under

Despite it being such a high total, OVER 244.5 (-112) is the lean in this battle between 2 of the top teams in the league. Both teams are top 11 in pace and in the top half of the league in effective field-goal percentage.

The Over is 22-4 in the last 26 meetings between these squads.

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Mavericks at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 117, Mavericks 113

Moneyline

Assuming Doncic is inactive again for the Mavericks, the KINGS (-135) are who I’d side with in this contest. Even with G Kyrie Irving adding firepower to the offense, Dallas could struggle to score points without Doncic.

Against the spread

KINGS -1.5 (-105) is another wager I’d make if Doncic is ruled out for a 4th consecutive game. Sacramento is a solid 16-11 at home, while Dallas is 11-17 on the road this season.

The Kings are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record. The Mavericks are also 8-23-1 ATS in the last 32 meetings against the Kings.

Over/Under

UNDER 233.5 (-110) is the lean assuming Doncic isn’t playing for the Mavericks. Outside of Irving, Dallas doesn’t have many consistent scoring options available that should cause Sacramento issues.

The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Sacramento and 7-1 in the last 8 meetings overall.

Sacramento Kings at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Sacramento Kings at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Sacramento Kings (29-21) are slated to face the Indiana Pacers (24-29) on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Pacers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Kings beat the San Antonio Spurs 119-109 on Wednesday to cover as 7.5-point favorites on the road. Sacramento is amid a 7-game road trip and has gone 2-1 in the first 3 games.

The Pacers narrowly lost 112-111 to the Los Angeles Lakers Thursday but covered the 2.5-point home underdogs. Indiana is currently on a 4-game losing skid and has lost 9 of its last 10 outings.

Sacramento won 137-114 when these teams met on Nov. 30. The Kings covered as 4.5-point home favorites as the Over (242.5) connected.

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Kings at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 118, Pacers 112

Moneyline

I feel comfortable wagering on the KINGS (-135) all the way up to -150. Even with Fox sidelined for Sacramento, it remains to be seen if G Tyrese Haliburton will play the 2nd leg of a back-to-back after returning on Thursday for Indiana.

Against the spread

BET KINGS -2.5 (-112) based on how these teams have performed recently.

The Kings will run their offense through C Domantas Sabonis on Friday and they have other capable scorers in G Kevin Huerter, F Harrison Barnes, and F Keegan Murray.

Sacramento is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 meetings against Indiana and 6-3-1 ATS in its last 10 games overall. Meanwhile, the Pacers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Over/Under

While these teams can score points in bunches at times, UNDER 236.5 (-105) is my lean with Fox sidelined. Sacramento and Indiana have only exceeded this total twice in their last 10 meetings.

The Kings have gone Under in each of their last 5 games and the Pacers have also gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games following a loss.

Analyzing Monday’s Sacramento Kings at Minnesota Timberwolves odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Sacramento Kings (27-21) take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (27-25) Monday at Target Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Timberwolves odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Kings lost 117-110 to the Timberwolves on Saturday and failed to cover as 1.5-point favorites on the road as the Under (238) hit. Sacramento has lost 3 of its last 4 games following a 6-game winning streak from Jan. 9-20 while Minnesota is currently on a 3-game win streak and has won 5 of its last 6 contests.

Kings at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 119, Timberwolves 115

Moneyline

KINGS (-115) is my bet Monday despite losing to the Timberwolves on Saturday. Sacramento is the better team and had won each of its last 3 road games before Saturday’s matchup.

Against the spread

If you aren’t taking the moneyline, KINGS -1.5 (-105) is a nice wager. Even though recent trends lean toward the Timberwolves covering the spread, we only need the Kings to win by at least 2 points against a shorthanded squad.

Over/Under

UNDER 236.5 (-110) feels like the ideal bet for the total in this game. We’ve seen high-scoring affairs between these teams in recent meetings, but I expect both teams to tighten up on defense in the 2nd matchup in 3 days.

The Kings have gone 5-1 to the Under in their last 6 games overall, while the Timberwolves have gone 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record. Meanwhile, the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams in Minnesota.

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Thunder at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 122, Thunder 116

Moneyline

Assuming that Sabonis is active, KINGS (-150) is an enticing bet in this contest. The Kings are 14-9 at home compared to the Thunder being 8-14 on the road this season.

Against the spread

KINGS -3.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning if Sabonis plays Friday night. If Sabonis is ruled out, then I’d certainly consider taking the Thunder to cover the spread on the road.

The Thunder are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road meetings against the Kings and 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings. The Kings are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Over/Under

UNDER 241.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning in this game despite the scoring potential of the Thunder and the Kings. Even though these teams are both top 6 in pace, they haven’t hit this total in the last 10 meetings.

Magic at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 124, Magic 119

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game at the current odds for both teams. Despite expecting the Kings (-240) to win at home, I wouldn’t advise taking them straight up due to the minimal return you’ll receive in a victory.

Against the spread

MAGIC +6.5 (-118) is the ideal way to bet the spread in this game. Even though I expect the Kings to secure the win, it’s hard to expect them to win by at least 7 points with how they’ve been playing recently.

The Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games on 1 day of rest. The Kings are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

Over/Under

Even with the Magic being 1 of the worst teams in terms of offensive rating, this is a massive pace-up game for them, so OVER 238.5 (-105) seems like the correct choice here. We’ve seen some high-scoring affairs between Orlando and Sacramento recently.

The Magic have gone Over in each of their last 5 games following an ATS win. Meanwhile, the Kings have gone Over in 7 straight games against teams with a losing record and the Over is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings between these 2 teams.

Prediction

Kings 125, Jazz 119

Moneyline

The odds for the Kings to win are currently at a point where I’ll PASS on taking it straight up, but I’d wager on it if you can get them at -140 or better. This should be a good game between 2 teams that have exceeded expectations thus far, though the Jazz have a 7-13 record on the road.

Against the spread

KINGS -3.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning assuming that C Domantas Sabonis is playing without any limitations again. Sacramento has a solid 10-7 record at home and we only need the Kings to win by a couple of baskets to cover the spread.

The Jazz have gone 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Over/Under

Despite it being such a high total, OVER 241.5 (-108) feels like the correct choice at the current odds. The Jazz and the Kings are both top 13 in pace, top 12 in true-shooting percentage, and top 7 in offensive rating while they both are bottom-10 teams in defensive rating.

The Jazz have hit the Over in 5 of their last 7 games against a team with a winning record while the Kings have gone Over in 14 of their last 18 home games against a team with a losing road record. On top of that, the Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings overall.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -3.5 (-108) is an easy choice for me in this game considering how these teams have been playing recently. Also, Sabonis is questionable to play and even if he does play, he’ll be tasked with trying to defend C Nikola Jokic with an injured hand.

Despite all of the trends pointing toward the Kings covering the spread, the Nuggets have won 4 straight meetings and they won by at least 4 points in each of those wins.

Over/Under

Even if Sabonis is ruled out, OVER 238.5 (-110) is an enticing wager with both teams being top 7 in offensive rating. If you aren’t comfortable taking the Over at the current total, you can wait to see if it comes down due to Sabonis’ status.

The Kings have gone Over in 5 of their last 6 home games against a team with a winning road record and are 9-2-1 to the Over in their last 12 home games. The Nuggets and the Kings have also hit the Over in 6 of their last 8 meetings.
