PELICANS KEY TRENDS: The Pelicans have been a poor bet of late, failing to cover the spread in eight of their last 10 games overall.

They are 2-6 against the spread in their last eight games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous contest as well.
KINGS KEY TRENDS: The Kings haven’t exactly been a great play either, failing to cover the number in four of their last five games, but at least they’re 6-2-1 at the betting window in their last nine home games. They’re also 4-1-1 against the spread in their last six games versus Western Conference foes and are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 home games following a road trip of seven or more days.
