Prediction

Although the Kings have recently improved, they are facing two defensively weak teams, so it’s not surprising to see offensive surges. The Pelicans’ offensive and defensive efficiency has returned to form, and they are strong at home. In particular, the two wing players, Murphy and Jones, play a crucial role in defending the Kings’ shooting, making it difficult for the Kings to perform at their usual shooting level.

Pick: Pelicans +6.5 (bet365)
