The Kings and Pelicans are right next to each other in the Western Conference standings and if either team hopes to make one last push at the 8th spot, a loss is simply something they cannot do.
Currently Sacramento sits in 11th while the Pelicans hold the 12th spot down.
New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have dropped 4 in a row and their playoff hopes are on the brink.
They currently sit 9.5 games back and it will take a complete turnaround, along with a lot of help from the rest of the West to get back into this. It will certainly start with them beating a team that is currently in front of them.

The Pelicans last win did come against this Kings team back on 3/7. New Orleans held on at home for a 115-112 win as they managed to hold on despite being out rebounded and out shot. New Orleans erased a 13 point half time deficit behind Anthony Davis and his 31 points.
This time around, the two teams will meet on the road, a place not kind to the Pelicans. New Orleans has gone just 7-27 away from Smoothie King Arena.
Sacramento Kings
The Kings were right in the battle for that 8th spot not too long ago, but that has since faded and now they are in the danger zone.
Sitting in the 11th spot, Sacramento sits 8.0 games off the pace of a playoff spot and losing 5 certainly didn’t help the cause. The good news for them is that they at least put an end to that on Tuesday with a win in Los Angeles. The Kings held on for an 8 point win, in a game they were dominating early on.

Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
The Kings and Pelicans cannot afford a loss. Realistically, both teams would need a miracle to make the playoffs.
Still, give the advantage to the Kings, mostly because of Cousins. DeMarcus Cousins is one of the best centers in the league and will certainly control the paint here.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Sacramento Kings -2.5
The Kings use Cousins to gather enough offense in a game where him and Davis exchange blows.
