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.
