Nique Clifford (Sacramento Kings) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-143)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Sacramento Kings prepare to host the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes are on Nique Clifford's shooting performance. While he's had a solid run lately, netting an average of 1.6 threes in his last five games, the matchup suggests a different story. Historically, Clifford has struggled against the Pelicans, averaging just 1 three-pointer in their last five encounters, even when playing at home. With the Kings' offensive flow favoring ball distribution over reliance on any single player, the chances of Clifford exceeding 1.5 threes seem slim. His recent overall hit rate shows promise, but let's not forget he's only cleared this line in three consecutive games-each time against teams that don't defend the perimeter as effectively as New Orleans. This matchup feels ripe for an under bet, making the under 1.5 threes for Clifford a smart play here.
