The Pelicans have won five straight over the kings but the loss of Zion Williamson changes the complexion of this game. Zion ws playing like the man we all expected him to be when he was drafted. He had 40 points with 3 minutes left and LA had no answers to stopping him. The injury probably cost the Pelicans the win as they were on a roll at home. New Orleans won and covered all five games this season. They covered those games by an average of 19.2 points. Domantas Sabonis should have an easier time in the post for the Kings without Zion in the lineup. Ingram and McCollum played awful against the Lakers and will need to step up in this one. The Pelicans were 7-5 in games without Zion this season. Sacramento has the momentum in this one and unfortunately the Zion injury will be a huge factor.


Play on Sacramento. This is a 2% play.
