Premium Pick

New Orleans just finished a rough stretch of games against top teams, coming off a close loss to the Lakers on Friday. Though they catch a break against a struggling and defenseless Sacramento squad. Star Anthony Davis had 30 points and 20 rebounds in Friday's loss to the Lakers and is averaging 33.8 points and 13.6 boards over his last five games. The Pelicans are 9-4 ATS against winning teams, plus 14-5 ATS versus the Pacific Division. Young Sacramento plays no defense, #28 in points allowed and #24 in field goal shooting defense, while the offense is #27 from the free throw line. Kings forward Marvin Bagley III has missed four games in a row due to a knee issue. Also, the last two times the Kings have been an underdog, they lost by 20 and 27 points. Play New Orleans.
