The New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings will meet at Smoothie King Centre in the NBA on Thursday night. Seven of the last eight games at this venue have gone under the total points line, and we fancy that trend to continue here, as discussed in our prediction below.
The New Orleans Pelicans have endured a dismal start to the season, losing all four of their games, including a 104-91 hammering by the Denver Nuggets at this venue last night.
Zion Williamson led the team with 25 points, but he lacked support to mount any sort of challenge against the Nuggets, with the next-best player on the team managing just 11 points.
There is still plenty of uncertainty surrounding the Pels’ future, and it is already looking unlikely that they will be able to challenge for a postseason spot. Yves Missi is out, and Jordan Poole is a doubt for this match.
Meanwhile, the picture isn’t much better for the Sacramento Kings. They have also lost all four of their games this season following a 130-103 thumping by the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.
The Kings are 25th in offensive efficiency and 29th on the defensive end. They are averaging 107.8 PPG on 44.5% shooting and allowing 125.5 PPG. Zach LaVine leads the team with 27.3 PPG.
Perhaps the only positive for the Kings is the performance of young Darius Acuff Jr., who is averaging 21.5 PPG. Keegan Murray, Maxime Raynaud, Ben Simmons and Dylan Caldwell are out for the visitors.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
While it may still be early in the season, this already looks like a matchup between two sides that are unlikely to challenge for the Playoff spot and will find wins hard to come by.
The Pelicans were decent in defence last time out, holding the Nuggets to just 104 points, but their offence did not match the performance, and inconsistency seems likely to plague them all season. With the Kings’ offence showing very little as well this season, the under looks like the smart play here. Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings prediction is under 240.5 points.
