New Orleans Pelicans

Before the first game of the back-to-back against Sacramento, Willie Green's team went on a four-game road trip. During that stretch, New Orleans fell twice to Denver (113-125 and 119-144) and lost to the same Kings (118-123) and Western Conference leaders Oklahoma (101-137).

Overall, the Pelicans have lost ten in a row and have only 12 wins in 54 games this season. Utah won their meeting, leaving New Orleans alone at the bottom of the West with a 1.0-win advantage over the second-placed Jazz.

Sacramento Kings

The Kings had won two consecutive games before the first match in New Orleans. Doug Christie's side beat the same Pelicans at home, 123-118, and Dallas in Texas, 129-128 (116-116) overtime. Sacramento has now won three in a row. The Californians are ninth in the Western Conference standings with a 28-26 record.

Last night's game was not easy for Sacramento. The Kings shot well from distance, hitting 16 of 45 three-pointers, but they shot just 47.1% from the field.

Expert Betting Tips

None of the three rival meetings this season have been productive. The total for the next game was broken in one of those games, but not by much. Now, the teams are playing back-to-back games, so we do not believe in a repeat of the top scorer. Let's go with a total under and back Sacramento to win, which would be the Kings' fourth win over New Orleans this season.
