New Orleans Pelicans Preview
As the race for the eighth spot in the West gets closer and closer, every game becomes critical for the competing teams at the lower part of the table.

The Kings are against the rival Pelicans tonight, and a win will give them a lot of hope going ahead in the final stages of the regular season.

Pelicans vs Kings Match Prediction
The Pelicans and the Kings will be making a final run for the playoffs. This game becomes equally important for both the squads and might decide the fate for one of them.
The Kings are having some exceptional talents on their team, but lack the overall flexibility on the roster. The Pelicans, on the other hand, are a better team on paper as well as on the court.
We are giving this one to the New Orleans Pelicans by 10 points.
