The Kings will be the 6.5-point favorites against the Pelicans on Saturday at the Golden 1 Center. New Orleans has lost 7 straight games and the last 5 on the road, so their hot streak in mid-January seemed like a mirage. They lost the last two games against the Nuggets in Denver, the last of them with a terrible defense that allowed more than 30 points in every quarter and would end up allowing 144 points against them. At least Trey Murphy had a good night of 25 points, 9 assists and a block.

Meanwhile, the Kings are adding new pieces with the goal of regaining the effective fast-paced attack of two seasons ago. In addition to the acquisition of La Vine, Valanciunas debuted against the Blazers with 6 points and 5 rebounds off the bench.

The Kings may find facing the Pelicans on Saturday a perfect fit because they, too, are coming off two losses, most recently to the Blazers 102-108 in Portland. It was a close game where neither team ever led by double digits.

Our Sacramento Kings vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction

Even though they have the 8th best offense in the NBA, this seems insufficient for a Kings team built to score many more points, especially from long distance. They have been lacking in effectiveness this season, but LaVine was acquired to make up for that. LaVine himself said he feels like he is in a competitive group and feels that after the losses this game against the Pelicans will be crucial. We expect the Kings to win and do so convincingly on Saturday. Our prediction for Kings vs Pelicans is: Kings -7.
