New Orleans Pelicans Betting
Life has been tough for the New Orleans Pelicans for this year. After winning over the Toronto Raptors on January 2, this team is on a four-game losing streak, and their most recent loss was against the defending champions, 95-112. Zion Williamson had his numbers doing 21 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists while Brandon Ingram chipped in with 20 points, five assists, and two steals. Aside from their stars, they got 12 points each from JJ Redick and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. The team needs more from Eric Bledsoe who was relegated to the bench and just had seven points in 20 minutes.

Sacramento Kings Betting
The Sacramento Kings have only won one game in the last five games and just two of their last nine. Coach Luke Walton is having a hard time bringing his magic from the Golden State Warriors and continues to struggle to find an identity. They went up against the Los Angeles Clippers during their last game and were humiliated with a 38-point loss. The positive was Marvin Bagley getting his groove with 20 points while Richaun Holmes was not far behind with 17. De’Aaron Fox was just limited to 14 points but Buddy Heild just did 3-of-11 from the field and score nine points.
