The Pelicans are coming into this game with an 11-10 record this season and not only do they need the win in this game to climb the standings in the Western Conference, but they also need the win to advance to the semi finals of the NBA In Season Tournament. The Pelicans are coming off of a loss in their last game but they have still won 2 of their last 3 games and this is the healthiest their team has been all season with a full starting lineup as well as a full healthy bench now. They are going up against a Kings team that is 11-7 this season and has won 3 of their last 4 games as they are coming off of a nice home win against the Nuggets in their last game. The Pelicans are a team the Kings have struggled with though as they have already lost twice against them this season and now they are going up against a Pelicans team that is the healthiest they have been all year. The Pelicans have not been as great on the road but even in their recent losses they have been keeping the games very close in score and this game they will have more motivation for since it is the quarter finals of the In Season Tournament. The Pelicans will get up for this game on the road and they will be pushing to win and advance, but they will keep it a very close game if they do end up losing. The Pelicans will cover the spread in this game.
