New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 3, 2026

The pregame total sat at 232.5, and from the opening tip, this game was destined to run under. Sacramento and New Orleans combined for 51 points in the first quarter—a sluggish start that set the tone for a defensive evening. The second quarter brought the only real offensive push, with both teams combining for 70 points to reach a halftime total of 121, still tracking comfortably below the number. The second half proved even more muted: Q3 produced just 56 combined points, and Q4 delivered only 53, leaving the final combined total at 230—a clean 2.5-point clearance under the market. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under cashed decisively.

Jeremiah Fears led New Orleans with 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Saddiq Bey added 20 points in the loss. For Sacramento, Maxime Raynaud posted 28 points and 9 rebounds, and Nique Clifford chipped in 23 points with 6 assists in the Kings' 117-113 victory. Jordan Hawkins (14 points) and Daeqwon Plowden (17 points) rounded out the offensive contributions on either side.

This result came within the context of tighter head-to-head scoring—the teams had traded meetings earlier this season with totals of 256 and 214, making the 230 landing a middle ground. Sacramento's recent form (122.2 points allowed per game) and New Orleans' defensive profile (116.0 allowed) both suggested a lower-scoring affair, a dynamic that materialized throughout.
