Warriors picks and predictions at Pelicans

Guess

Warriors 118, Pelicans 104

money line

TO GO PAST.

There’s no reason to think the Pelicans (+360) can get over the hump here, especially with so many weapons on the sideline. Similarly, the Warriors are too expensive (-500) to play outright.

against the spread

BET WARRIORS -10.5 (-110).

The Warriors are double-digit favorites this season at 1-0 ATS and 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games. They have won 9 of their last 11 games, with 5 of those wins coming by double digits.

The Pelicans are a double-digit underdog in the ATS at 0-3 this season and have lost 3 straight games, 2 of which were by 28+ points. Keeping this in mind back WARRIORS -10.5 (-110).

Top/Bottom

BET UNDER 223.5 (-115).

Simply put, the Pelicans won’t have the offensive firepower to truly support that total. They have scored 101 points or fewer in 5 straight games and have reached 105 points just once in the last 9 games, going 3-5-1 O/U.

The Warriors have lost 2 games in a row and have been able to hold their opponents to only 99.5 points per game in these games. We expect the game to be slower due to Curry’s knee injury and his offensive averages being below 110 points in the last 2 games.

Back UNDER 223.5 (-115).
