ASA NBA play on OVER 231 Sacramento Kings at New Orleans Pelicans, 8:10PM ET - We expect the Kings to put up points in this one and essentially force the Pelicans to score to keep up. Sacramento is 8th in Offensive Efficiency this season at 1.115-points per possession. They have been better of late at 1.203PPP in their last five games. The Kings are coming off a pair of 140+ scoring games against the Jazz and Spurs who both rate similarly to this Pels team defensively. Sacto is the 7th best shooting team in the NBA at 48.6% and should get plenty of easy looks against this Pelicans defense that allows 48.6% shooting by opponents which ranks 28th. New Orleans is 27th in Defensive Efficiency allowing 1.186PPP. They have given up 121+ points in 3 of their last four games and 118+ in 8 of their last ten overall. The Pels also rank 23rd in 2PT% against and are one of the worst rebounding teams in the league. On the rare occasion the Kings do miss they should get second chance opportunities with their 12th best rebound rate in the league. We are going to need points from the Pelicans also and we expect them to get 113+. The Kings are 14th in DEFF and can be exploited defensively from beyond the arc. Sacramento allows foes to hit 37.7% from Deep which ranks 27th in the NBA. New Orleans has some horrible offensive numbers, but they’ve also had significant injury issues to their leading scorers all season long. In their 3 most recent games they put up 126 against the Suns and 116 versus the Spurs and 109 against the Thunder who have the best D in the NBA. The numbers suggest that these two teams combine for 235+ in this one.
