New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings. The NBA pick for this game is the Sacramento Kings.
Sacramento was a scoring machine recently, scoring at least 123 points in six consecutive matches, including 176 points against the Los Angeles Clippers in a victory on February 24 that required two overtimes.
In the last five matches, they made 54.6% of their shots, compared to 53.0% for their opponents. In this game, Sacramento was bound to score some points, especially against a mediocre New Orleans defense.
If the Pelicans can stay up with Sacramento at all is the real question. They were limited to 105.8 points per game over the last five games, and Sacramento will not win with that performance.
This game will go to the Kings. The Sacramento Kings will win to a predicted score of 123-118.
