Kings vs. Pelicans
Domantas Sabonis: Points Under 14.5
ANALYSIS
Our analysis of New Orleans' 90th percentile interior defense is reinforced by Sabonis entering tonight's matchup questionable with a lingering back injury that sidelined him just 48 hours ago. With the Kings missing over 33 PPG from sidelined teammates like Zach LaVine and Keegan Murray, the Pelicans can focus their elite paint protection exclusively on a limited Sabonis to uphold this 75% implied probability.
