Kings vs Pelicans
Efficiency and Defence Keep Totals Down

Sacramento Kings vs New Orleans Pelicans
February 12th 2025 | 8:00 PM EST | Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA


Sacramento’s dynamic guard, De’Aaron Fox, has been the engine behind the Kings’ methodical offense—boasting high shooting efficiency, disciplined ball control, and a low turnover differential that all contribute to a controlled pace. Meanwhile, New Orleans’ Pelicans, struggling with inconsistent field goal percentages and elevated turnover rates, typically fail to push the tempo, resulting in fewer fast-break opportunities. With both teams’ starters healthy and having played over 41 games with significant playoff implications, the advanced metrics in pace, shooting efficiency, and rebounding strongly indicate that the game will be a half-court battle, likely finishing under the 239.5-point total. Betting the under offers compelling value, and I rate this wager an A for its high likelihood of success and attractive monetary potential.
