Advice and prediction
As has been the case for much of the last week, predicting the Pelicans game requires a bit of good fortune and a high amount of luck. If Brandon Ingram or Zion Williamson play, getting New Orleans as underdogs is great.
If neither play, it’s a much different outlook. Both Ingram and Williamson both seem close to a return still, so taking Pelicans plus-3 could be worth the risk.
Prediction: Hawks 111, Pelicans 110
