The Pelicans have covered seven of their past eight as road favorites, and I like them to continue that Sunday night in Sacramento. The Kings are horrific defensively, having given up 138 and 132 points in their last two games. Even without Lonzo Ball, New Orleans should send Sacramento to its eighth loss in the past 10 games.

Having starters in and out of the lineup has been a big reason for the Pelicans' five-game slide. That has not deterred oddsmakers from making them road favorites against the Kings. Sacramento’s poor defense and New Orleans' need for a win makes this a solid ATS spot. Back the Pelicans to end their losing streak.
