New Orleans at Sacramento

April 3, 2026
img10:00 PM Eastern

New Orleans has won nine of the past 12 meetings, including both this season by an average of 18 points. Sacramento got a rare win on Wednesday, defeating Toronto 123-115 in the last of the five-game road trip after losing the first four. The chances of the Kings winning two in a row are unlikely, especially since they have been in tanking mode for months. The Pelicans have lost six in a row, but it is more due to a tough schedule. All six losses were against playoff contenders. Sacramento has gone OVER six of eight overall and four of five at home. The Kings are 6-0 OVER their past six against Southwest Division opponents, and they have lost eight of nine Friday games. Take the Pelicans on the moneyline and the OVER.
