New Orleans has won and covered both meetings this season, including 114-105 on Jan. 28th when Ryan Anderson exploded for 36 points and Jrue Holiday added 25 points for the Pelicans. The Kings have fallen on hard times losing five of their last six games, including 104-94 at San Antonio on Saturday. DeMarcus Cousins scored 31 points, but only two other players managed double figures, and the defense allowed the Spurs to shoot a .494 field goal percentage. New Orleans will try to snap a four-game losing streak after losing 106-94 to Utah on Saturday. Anthony Davis finished with 29 points, but he made just 11-of-31 from the floor. Holiday was the only other player in double digits with 22 points. Rudy Gay and Rajon Rondo both are probable for the Kings with minor injuries. The Kings are 1-7 ATS after a loss, and the Pelicans are 4-1 ATS after an ATS loss. New Orleans gets the win at home. Play the Pelicans.
