Pelicans at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 117, Pelicans 110
Moneyline
PASS.
Philadelphia should come out on top. It and is 14-5 at home this season while New Orleans is 7-9 on the road. Nonetheless, at (-210), the Sixers are unplayable here.
Against the spread
BET 76ERS -5.5 (-108).
Philadelphia has been terrific ATS at home. It is 13-5-1 ATS at Wells Fargo Center this season, and it will be playing a team without its 2n-best scorer with Ingram out.
The Pelicans also rank 11th in 3-point FG percentage (36.7%) which is what the Sixers strength is at. Philadelphia has been hot ATS lately, covering 7 of its last 10.
Also, the Sixers lost 127-116 on Dec. 30 in New Orleans and they should use that energy to get back at them and cover. Ultimately, back 76ERS -5.5 (-108).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 230.5 (-108).
The 76ers play at one of the slowest paces in the league, ranking 26th, and at home, this game should resemble more of their style. They also rank top 10 in opponents points per game, FG percentage and 3-point FG percentage, so they know how to defend.
The Pelicans, down Ingram, may struggle and should see a player like G De’Anthony Melton, one of the better on-ball defensive guards in the league, give G CJ McCollum some issues offensively.
For a small unit, play the UNDER 230.5 (-108).
