Sacramento at New Orleans

Denver led New Orleans 37-18 after one quarter on Wednesday and won 104-91, with the Pelicans shooting 34-of-82 overall and 7-of-30 from three. After that opening quarter, Denver scored 67 across the other three, and it did so short-handed, using nine players. That loss made New Orleans 0-4, and the Pelicans are back on the floor a night later. New Orleans scored 120, 119 and 135 in its first three games, then 91 on Wednesday, 116.3 a game across the four. Zion Williamson scored 25 and hit a fourth-quarter three that cut Denver's lead to 88-83, and New Orleans scored 18 in that quarter. Sacramento has its own scoring problem. The Kings put up 96, 120, 112 and 103 points in their four games, 107.8 a game, the last of them a 130-103 loss at San Antonio on Tuesday. The Kings have allowed 125.5 a game. Three of Sacramento's four games finished with 217, 235 and 233 combined points. New Orleans plays its second straight night, and I like the UNDER tonight.
