Moneyline
LEAN PELICANS (+132).
New Orleans has won all 3 games with the Kings this season and and is 2-1 in its last 3 games in Sacramento. New Orleans allows opponents only 111.9 points per game while Sacramento allows 117.5.
If Williamson does not suit up for this game, then pass on this line as a whole.
Against the spread
BET PELICANS +3.5 (-110).
New Orleans is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 games and it has covered ATS in 4 of its last 5 road games, including 3 straight. New Orleans has also covered in this season’s 3 meetings with Sacramento and is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 vs. the Kings. The Pelicans are also the better ATS team this season, being 20-15-1 while Sacramento is 18-16.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 235.5 (-110).
The Under is 2-1 in New Orleans’ last 3 overall and is 3-2 in Sacramento’s last 5 overall. The Under has also hit in 4 of the last 5 New Orleans-Sacramento matchups and is 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings between these squads.
This is only a lean because neither the Over nor Under have had much of an edge for either team recently.
