New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings Prediction & Picks, October 29, 2026

Trey Murphy III might face a tough night against the Sacramento Kings. The Kings have been solid on defense, allowing fewer three-point attempts than average. They also force turnovers just a bit more often than the Pelicans, which could limit Murphy's scoring and assists. The Pelicans have struggled with rebounds too, giving up a lot of boards. This can lead to second-chance points for the Kings, meaning Murphy might not get the chances he needs to rack up numbers. With all this in mind, betting on Murphy to score under 19.5 points and assists feels like a good call. Just remember, it's not a sure thing, and he could surprise us.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings: Jeremiah Fears Over 11.5 Points (-135)

Jeremiah Fears is expected to have a solid game against the Sacramento Kings. The Pelicans let opponents shoot a lot of three-pointers, which creates plenty of scoring opportunities. With the Kings also giving up a fair amount of rebounds, Fears could find himself in a great position to rack up points. Both teams have shown they can push the pace, and Fears has a good chance to exceed 11.5 points, especially at home in the Smoothie King Center. One possible risk is that the game could be closer than expected, which might limit scoring opportunities. Still, our numbers show he's a strong favorite to hit the over.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings: Trey Murphy III Under 23.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts (+150)

Trey Murphy III has been a bit quiet lately, and that makes this bet interesting. The New Orleans Pelicans give up a lot of rebounds, but not so much to Murphy specifically, and he may struggle to find his rhythm against the Sacramento Kings. With both teams playing at a fast pace, it's also possible that shots could be spread out among many players, limiting Murphy's chances for points, rebounds, and assists. The risk here is that Murphy could catch fire and surprise everyone, especially since both teams are known for their offensive style. Still, based on what we've seen from him recently, under 23.5 points, rebounds, and assists seems like a solid bet.

That is the full board for this game. Prices can move before you get on, so check the board at your bookmaker. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
