Prediction

The Kings haven't been that great lately and will be missing one if their best shooters in Fox who's averaging almost 25 points per game so the offense will decrease on this game. The Pelicans have lost 9 of their last 10 games but CJ and Ingram back so this a huge boost to their offense and they showed it in the last game against the Lakers. The Kings are allowing a lot of points on the road so this is a great spot for the Pelicans to take win at home. Take the Pelicans.
