The New Orleans Pelicans have not been the playoff caliber team they were before Chris Paul left. They have always played better defensively at home, but right now they have been playing no defense. The Pelicans last four games have seen them allow 113.8 points per game, and three of those have occurred on this road trip. Sacramento prefers an uptempo game and will try to exploit the Pelicans here, but they are doing nothing on the defensive end either, allowing 108.4 points per game over their last eight. The Pelicans are 8-0 to the OVER in their last eight vs. a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400, while the Kings are 7-0 to the OVER in their last seven vs. a losing team. Points a plenty here, play on the OVER.
