Advice and prediction
Adding Lonzo Ball and subtracting Alec Burks, who scored 14 points in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s 10-point win for the Knicks, sways the advantage toward the Pelicans. New Orleans has film on how New York defended Ingram and Williamson and should be able to make adjustments. Take Pelicans +2.5.
Prediction: Pelicans 107, Knicks 102
