His average points per game have risen in every month this season, finishing January with 21.2 after 17.6 in December and 14.5 in November.<\/p>\n Bey is coming off one of his best games of the season, dropping in 30 points in the win against the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n The Pelicans forward is averaging 23.6 points in his last nine games, going over 17.5 in seven of those contests.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kings vs. Pelicans Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n The Kings may be on a 12-game losing streak, but they\u2019ve battled hard in recent contests. They took the Cavaliers down to the wire last time out, losing by six as +13 underdogs. In fact, their last four losses have all been by six points or fewer.<\/p>\n The Pelicans have been good as home favorites this season, but this line is just a tad too long. Sacramento has what it takes to keep this game close again, and possibly even end its long losing streak.<\/p>\n Pick: Kings +7.5 (-115)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Unlock $200 in bonus bets \u2014 all without a promo code for DraftKings<\/a>.
