Pelicans vs. Kings Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Friday, April 3

The Sacramento Kings return home from a long road trip to host the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.

The Kings avoided a winless five-game trip with a 123-115 upset win in Toronto on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, the Pelicans have lost six in a row, including a 118-106 loss in Portland last night.

The Pelicans beat the Kings 120-94 in February and then 133-123 on the road last month.

The oddsmakers have the Kings as home underdogs at the best betting sites on
Friday night.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Friday night’s NBA matchup.

Pelicans vs. Kings Best NBA Prop Bets

Pelicans Best NBA Prop Bet

Saddiq Bey OVER 2.5 Three Pointers (+127)

Saddiq Bey has been consistent from long range over the last few weeks. The Pelicans forward has gone OVER 2.5 three pointers in eight straight games after a cold stretch.

Bey is shooting 29 for 50 (58%) from deep in that span, averaging 3.6 threes on 6.3 attempts per game. He made 3 of 5 three-pointers in Sacramento last month as well.

Pelicans vs. Kings Prediction and Pick

In a game between two teams eliminated from playoff contention, I think they’ll let it fly tonight in Sacramento.

The last meeting easily went over the 235.5 total in the Pelicans’ 133-123 win, and the Kings also scored 123 points last time out in Toronto. It wouldn’t surprise me to see a similar score this time around.

I can only look to the OVER in this matchup tonight.

Pick: OVER 234.5 (-110)
