Advice and prediction
Even if the Pelicans haven’t really had the results to back it up, it feels like they’ve figured some things out. The offense is certainly rolling at a level higher than at any other point this season.
As always, taking the over in a Pelicans game remains one of the surer bets in all of the NBA. But the Pelicans -3.5 seems an equally enticing bet. Parlaying them could be a boom or bust option as well.
