The Sacramento Kings will square off with the New Orleans Pelicans in NBA action at Golden 1 Center on Saturday, beginning at 10:00PM ET.

Based on updated simulations and today’s injury updates, Dimers' advanced NBA model (see Dimers Pro for full access) projects the Kings as the most likely winner of today's game.

"Our team has used the latest data to run 10,000 simulations of Saturday's New Orleans-Sacramento game," said Damien Souness from Dimers.

"By incorporating recent updates and various other inputs, we estimate that the Kings are more likely to win, while the Pelicans have a lower chance of victory."
