Hawks at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 123, Hawks 117

Moneyline

Assuming that Ingram and Valanciunas are active, I’d side with the PELICANS (-130) in this matchup. New Orleans is 19-9 at home compared to Atlanta being 14-16 on the road this season.

Against the spread

PELICANS -2.5 (-105) is the ideal choice with New Orleans expected to have Ingram, Valanciunas, and G CJ McCollum available. While the Hawks don’t have any notable injuries to report, they’ve struggled to string together much success recently.

Atlanta is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 games playing on 2 days of rest.

Over/Under

With both teams being top 14 squads in pace, OVER 225.5 (-112) is the bet here. The Hawks and the Pelicans are also in the top half of the league in offensive rating.

The Hawks have hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 games overall. Meanwhile, the Pelicans have gone 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games overall.

Atlanta Hawks at New Orleans Pelicans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Atlanta Hawks at New Orleans Pelicans odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Hawks (2-1) travel to face the New Orleans Pelicans (1-3) Wednesday at Smoothie King Center at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Hawks vs. Pelicans odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Hawks rebounded from a 101-95 loss at the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday to blast the Detroit Pistons by a 122-104 count Monday. Still, Atlanta’s only road game netted just 95 points and an outright loss as an 8-point favorite.

The Pelicans picked up their first victory of the season Monday at the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-98, winning outright as 5.5-point underdogs. New Orleans has covered in two straight with the Under going 3-1 in four games overall.

Hawks at Pelicans odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 110, Pelicans 99

Money line

The Hawks (-260) will cost you more than two and a half times your potential return. While I expect them to win, and win handily, that’s risky business on a road team, especially one which laid an egg in its only previous road outing.

AVOID and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The HAWKS -6.5 (-105) are the play. Atlanta stumbled in Cleveland, but it’s facing a team missing its biggest star in Williamson. The Pelicans are also struggling to put points on the board during the early going, registering just 101.3 points per game to rank 26th in the NBA.

Look for the Hawks to run away with a double-digit win.

Over/Under

The UNDER 219.5 (-110) is the best play on the board. The Hawks are playing solid defense and they’ll clamp down on the Pellies and keep them from hitting triple digits.

The Under is 8-3 in Atlanta’s past 11 road outings dating back to last season, including its only road outing this season. The Under is 6-0 in NOLA’s past six at home, also dating back to last season, while going 4-0 in the past four against teams with a winning overall mark.

Atlanta Hawks at New Orleans Pelicans odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Atlanta Hawks at New Orleans Pelicans NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New Orleans Pelicans (21-26) host the Atlanta Hawks (24-24) Friday at Smoothie King Center for a 9 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Hawks-Pelicans odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks won 134-129 double-overtime thriller against the San Antonio Spurs as 1-point underdogs last night to stop a two-game losing skid.

This will be Atlanta’s last of an eight-game Western Conference road swing; the Hawks are 3-4 straight-up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) on their road trip.

New Orleans was on the losing end of its own overtime game last night after getting upset by the Orlando Magic 115-110 as 5-point home favorites. Before that loss, the Pelicans were 4-1 SU and ATS in their previous five games.

Hawks at Pelicans: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Pelicans 118, Hawks 111

Money line (ML)

Just a reminder: Wait until as close to tip-off as possible before wagering on this game.

If two of the Pelicans’ top-3 scorers can play—and specifically Zion—then I “LIKE” PELICANS (-125) for 1.25 units. If not, then I’d “LEAN” Hawks but would end up passing.

But, Zion is like a bull in an antique shop, and his physicality wreaks havoc on opposing defenses.

New Orleans is first in second-chance points and third in fast-break points per game, and these are weak spots for Atlanta’s defense. The Hawks are 20th in second-chance points and 17th in fast-break points per game allowed.

Both teams are in the top-5 of FTA/FG rate but New Orleans is 11th in defensive FTA/FG rate – whereas Atlanta is 20th in defensive FTA/FG rate.

Finally, the Pelicans and Hawks are first and second, respectively, in offensive rebounding rate, but New Orleans is fifth in defensive rebounding percentage, and Atlanta is 21st.

BET PELICANS (-125) for 1.25 units if Zion plays tonight.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS since New Orleans’ money line is only 15 cents on the dollar more expensive than the Pelicans -1.5 (-110) to cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” Over 222.5 (-115) for a one-fifth unit, if at all since, again, we don’t know who’s in the lineup at the moment. Also, surprisingly both teams play at a below-average pace.

However, I do envision New Orleans getting easy buckets at the rim and in transition and Atlanta being able to knock down threes against the Pelicans’ second-worst 3-point shooting defense.
