Spurs at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 124, Spurs 118

Moneyline

The Spurs are awful on the road. They’re 6-27 and any bet on them to win on the road is a Hail Mary, especially against a team like the Pelicans, who are 22-13 at home. But having to wager 8 times what you can win on the Pels? Nope.

PASS.

Against the spread

In the Pelicans’ last 16 games, they have 1 win by more than 12 points while only 1 of the Spurs’ last 5 losses has been by more than 12 points.

The Pelicans are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games after a win and after an ATS win. The Spurs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games.

This is just too many points to lay up on the Pelicans.

BET SPURS +12.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Two of the 3 meetings between the teams have had higher totals than Tuesday’s projection.

The Over is 10-2 in the Spurs’ last 12 games following a win while the Spurs’ last 4 games have all had totals higher than the Tuesday projection.

BET OVER 231.5 (-112).
