Zion Williamson made it through 70 games this season without a major injury, but now at the worst time he is sidelined with a left hamstring strain and out for at least two weeks. It's a bad break for New Orleans, as it comes into tonight's game having lost two in a row to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Pelicans were defeated 110-106 in the first play-in game on Tuesday with Williamson scoring 40 points while the Lakers shot only 42 percent, but they went 14-for-35 on 3-point tries. Sacramento went from a slight underdog to a small favorite due to Williamson's injury. The Pelicans are 1-7 ATS at home versus teams with winning road records and 0-5 ATS their past five home games overall. The Kings have covered three in a row after routing Golden State 118-94 in a big confidence-booster on Tuesday. Sacramento is 9-1 UNDER following an ATS win, 16-5 UNDER its past 21 games overall, 5-0 UNDER playing with two days rest and 16-3 UNDER in the first half. The Pelicans are 19-7 UNDER with two days of rest. Take the Kings on the moneyline and the first half as a Max Play and the game to go UNDER.
