Sacramento Kings vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Dan Angell in NBA Picks

The Sacramento Kings (47-36 SU, 42-39-1 ATS) face the New Orleans Pelicans (49-34 SU, 43-37-2 ATS) for the NBA’s final spot in the Western Conference playoffs. The Kings find themselves in one of the last positions they wanted to face, as they’ve had nothing but problems when facing New Orleans this season.

The teams have met five times this season, and it’s all been one-way traffic in the Pelicans’ favor. New Orleans has won all five meetings, four of them by double digits. The Pelicans just faced the Kings a week ago, and that resulted in their highest output of the month. Other than that one game, New Orleans hasn’t scored more than 114 points in April — but the Pelicans dropped 135 on Sacramento that night.

Sacramento Kings - New Orleans Pelicans Key Points

  1. The under has cashed in five of the past seven meetings between the teams.
  2. The Pelicans have scored at least 123 points in seven of their past 10 matchups with the Kings.
  3. The Pelicans have covered in five straight meetings with Sacramento.

Our Sacramento Kings vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction

The key to this game is how well the Pelicans respond to not having Zion Williamson on the floor. The Pelicans have won without Williamson against Sacramento this year, but it required shooting 61% from the field. New Orleans usually shoots the ball well, but that’s also with Williamson on the court.

Without Williamson, the Pelicans will likely shift more of the offense to C.J. McCollum and Brandon Ingram. Both are strong scorers, but neither shoots anywhere near the 57% that Williamson shoots. The lack of Williamson also means Sacramento can adjust its defense accordingly and force McCollum to work for his shots. The Kings have covered in three straight, and they’re the healthier team, so our prediction for Sacramento vs. New Orleans is for the Kings to cover.
