Domantas Sabonis to Score 20+ Points (+105)

Brandon Ingram to Score 20+ Points (+100)

Same Game Parlay odds: +550

SAC Kings -1.5 (-110)

I know the Pelicans dominated the head-to-head meetings this season, but the injury to Zion Williamson changes everything in my opinion. In 4 meetings vs the Kings this season he averaged 23 points, 5.8 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 4 Games, while shooting over 60% from the field. Losing that kind of productivity will be devastating for a team that’s been hampered by injuries quite a lot recently.

Meanwhile, the Kings will be very motivated to get revenge on those 5 regular season defeats they suffered. Optimism will be at a high after their 24 point win over Golden State, De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis played extremely well in that Game. I’m expecting more of the same here from the dynamic duo here, they’re combining to average 40 points and 13 assists per Game this season vs New Orleans. Back Sacramento to advance into the postseason.

Domantas Sabonis to Score 20+ Points (+105)

Sabonis had a triple double once and a double-double 4 times this season vs the Pelicans and that’s despite having to deal with Zion Williamson in 4 of those games. With the big fella out of the way, Sabonis will have a ton more energy at his disposal both on offense and on defense. He finished the year averaging 18.8 points per game vs New Orleans on 50% or better shooting in every single meeting. Most of his production comes from inside the paint where the Pels are allowing an average of 51.3 points per game in their last 3 outings. I don’t think they’ll have a proper answer to deal with the Lithuanian down low.

Brandon Ingram to Score 20+ Points (+100)

Despite Ingram struggling in the play-in game against the Lakers, I still have a lot of faith in him. He did go 6-for-9 from the field for 13 points in that game, that will only improve as he gets his legs back under him. Zion’s absence automatically makes him the 2nd scoring option behind the slightly more consistent C.J. McCollum, who also isn’t having the best of runs lately. Ingram has averaged 24.8 points per game in 4 meetings with the Kings this season, clearing this line in 3 of those games. He shot 50% or better in all 4 games against them, that’s a good sign heading into this play-in game. His size and length is a problem for much better defenses than that one of the Kings, so I expect him to carry most of the load offensively here for New Orleans.
