I'm on the Pelicans Moneyline @ Sacramento for these reasons

- No Malik Monk and possibly no Keegan Murray.

- Pelicans are much more deep on the bench than Sacramento, but they will be without Brandon Ingram tonight. I like the matchups with Sabonis vs Valenciunas, Zion vs whoever they start at PF (they will be undersized in thr paint overall).

- Defensively the Pelicans are more reliable and are not allowing teams to score more than 111 points over the last 5 games. Height is going to be a factor here and if the Pelicans can keep up their #1 3pt defense, this will be a tough game for The Kings.
