Current Records: New Orleans 1-7; Sacramento 3-4
What to Know
The Sacramento Kings will be returning home after a four-game road trip. They and the New Orleans Pelicans will face off at 10 p.m. ET Nov. 3 at Golden 1 Center without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
The Kings were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Tuesday as they fell 119-113 to the Utah Jazz. The top scorer for Sacramento was small forward Harrison Barnes (23 points).
Meanwhile, New Orleans lost to the Phoenix Suns on the road by a decisive 112-100 margin. The Pelicans were up 36-22 at the end of the first quarter but couldn’t hold on to the lead. Despite the loss, they got a solid performance out of center Jonas Valanciunas, who posted a double-double on 23 points and 14 rebounds.
Sacramento is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor’s paradise, though, as they’ve failed to beat the spread in two of their two home games.
Sacramento is now 3-4 while New Orleans sits at 1-7. Two defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Kings are stumbling into the game with the fifth most points allowed per game in the league, having given up 112.9 on average. The Pelicans have experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.60% from the floor on average, which is the fifth highest shooting percentage allowed in the league. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
