Kings vs Pelicans

Grade B+: Under 235 (-110)

Sacramento boasts one of the league’s fastest offenses, but even with their scoring prowess, hitting the Over 235 line looks ambitious. The Kings’ recent form has been inconsistent, and they’re facing a Pelicans team that has failed to crack 110 points in three of their last five games. Without Zion Williamson, New Orleans lacks an interior scoring presence, forcing CJ McCollum into tough perimeter shots. Meanwhile, the Kings will look to exploit the paint with Domantas Sabonis, but the absence of Jonas Valančiūnas could slow the Pelicans’ overall pace. Sacramento should dictate the tempo, but if their outside shooting isn’t firing, this game may struggle to reach the high total. With both teams past the 41-game mark, Sacramento is focused on securing a playoff spot, while New Orleans is in full evaluation mode. Betting the Under 235 gets a B+ grade—a solid wager in a matchup that may not be the shootout the line suggests.
