An NBA regular season match will take place in New Orleans on February 14, in which New Orleans will host Sacramento. Both teams have already met recently, and then the Kings turned out to be stronger. Now the Pelicans will try to take revenge, but will they be able to impose a fight on a motivated opponent, or will Sacramento take its fourth victory in a row? - find out in our forecast
Command Analysis
New Orleans Pelicans
USACurrent form
The Pelicans continue to disappoint their fans. The team cannot find a balance in the game and remains in last place in the Western Conference. Despite the rare glimpses, Willie Green's band has lost its former confidence and is now performing without much motivation.
Recently, New Orleans broke up with Brandon Ingram, who went to Toronto. It is worth noting that the ex-club leader still missed matches due to injury, so his departure did not greatly affect the team's game. In the last match against Sacramento, the hosts tried to impose a fight, but lost (111:118).
The next game will be played on the home court again, and this is a good chance to take revenge. However, for this, New Orleans needs to find additional motivation, which is clearly not enough yet.
Disqualifications and injuries
Herbert Jones, Dejante Murray and Kelly Olynyk will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The New Orleans team can't win ten games in a row.
Approximate composition: Murray-Derozan, Sabonis-Monk, Lavigne.
Sacramento Kings
USACurrent form
The Kings are confidently moving forward and showing decent results. The team is gradually gaining shape and has already gained a foothold on the ninth line of the West, but it is clearly not going to stop there.
Sacramento recently made a trade, sending De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio and receiving Zach Lavin from Chicago. The rookie quickly adapted to the team and scored 23 points in the last match against New Orleans, becoming one of the main heroes of the meeting.
The victory over the Pelicans was the third in a row for the Kings. Douglas Christie's players have improved significantly, and now there are no more failures in their game that previously prevented them from achieving stable results. The next meeting will take place again in New Orleans, which will give Sacramento the opportunity to consolidate its success and continue its winning streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team has no problems with the composition.
Interesting facts for betting
In 3 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, the Kings celebrated the victory.
Approximate composition: Murphy-Williamson, Missy-Alvarado, McCollum.

1.94Tip and bets
It's hard to say that New Orleans is seriously hoping to get out of the crisis. Willie Green's team has long been accustomed to the status of an outsider and does not demonstrate proper motivation. Of course, playing on the home floor gives you a certain advantage, but it's unlikely that this will be enough to win.
Sacramento, on the other hand, is on the move. The team is improving with each game, and the exchange of Fox for Lavin is already bearing fruit. The new leader quickly fitted into the game and added variation to the attack. The Kings still have a chance of getting into the top 6, so they will fight in every match. Most likely, the scenario of the last game will repeat itself – Sacramento will take over again due to organized defense and aggressive attack.
Our forecast is a victory for Sacramento, taking into account the handicap (-5.5) points in 1.79
Bet on the total
Considering that New Orleans continues to play without proper concentration in defense, open basketball can be expected from the hosts. The Pelicans will want to take revenge, so they will go ahead and try to play aggressively.
Sacramento has been playing a productive game this season and is unlikely to sit back defensively. The team is in good shape and is able to maintain a high pace. Both teams are able to attack, so there are all prerequisites for the total to be broken.
Forecast - total more than 234.5 points in 1.66
Betting on statistics
The Kings are approaching the match in excellent condition. All the key performers are at the disposal of the coaching staff, and the newcomers have already adapted. Lavigne, Sabonis and Derozan create a powerful offensive line that can cause a lot of problems for the Pelicans defense. Given the instability of New Orleans' defense, we can expect the visitors to break through their individual total without any problems.
Prediction – Sacramento's individual total is more than 121.5 points per 1.90
