1.87Tip and bets
Bookmaker experts consider Sacramento to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, New Orleans will not have many chances to succeed. It's not even worth arguing with them. The Pelicans are clearly experiencing a crisis at the moment and cannot get out of it in any way. After the arrival of a new mentor on the coaching bridge, the Kings finally adjusted the game. Christie's team will have to give a real fight to one of the main outsiders of the championship.
Our forecast is a victory for Sacramento with a handicap of (-4.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.81
Betting on an individual total
Sacramento is showing good performance this season. The average score for the last ten games is 115. In matches with the Pelicans — 113. And this time, everything is going to ensure that the team from the capital of California will be able to improve its statistics.
Our forecast is that Sacramento's individual total is more than 123.5 points, including overtime in 2.08
The bet on the player
Derozan played 79 games in the last regular season and averaged 24 points per game. This season, his score is still slightly lower — 21.9. But the 35-year-old striker has definitely not lost his basic skills. The Olympic champion of Rio de Janeiro will be able to cause a lot of trouble to the opponent's defense.
Our forecast is that Derozan's total points are over 22.5, including overtime in 1.87
