Pelicans at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 119, Wizards 114

Moneyline

With McCollum returning on Monday, PELICANS (-105) is an enticing wager. New Orleans has shown that it can compete with the best teams in the NBA despite not having Ingram or Williamson available.

Against the spread

Since I took New Orleans to win on the road, PELICANS +1.5 (-115) is how I’m betting on the spread in this game. All the trends point toward the Wizards covering the spread, but I have a feeling that the Pelicans get back on track with a win Monday.

Over/Under

OVER 228.5 (-105) is the ideal choice in this game assuming that McCollum does play for the Pelicans. This is a pace-up game for the Wizards and both teams are top 16 in true-shooting percentage this season.

The Pelicans are 9-1 to the Over in their last 10 games following an ATS loss and 5-1 to the Over in their last 6 road games. Meanwhile, the Wizards are 5-1 to the Over in their last 6 home games.

Nets at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 121, Pelicans 115

Moneyline

I’ll go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Nets being the favored team on the road. Taking Brooklyn straight up isn’t advised at the current odds, but taking the Nets in a parlay is fine.

Against the spread

NETS -4.5 (-105) appears to be the ideal choice in this game. While Brooklyn is coming off of a loss, New Orleans doesn’t have Ingram or Williamson available against 1 of the better teams in the NBA.

The Pelicans are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a winning road record. Above all, the Nets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings overall and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road meetings against the Pelicans.

Over/Under

Even though Ingram and Williamson aren’t playing, OVER 231.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning. Both of these teams are in the top 7 in offensive rating and top 13 in true-shooting percentage.

The Nets have gone Over in each of their last 4 games against a team with a winning record while the Pelicans are 6-1 to the Over in their last 7 games coming off 1 day of rest. The Over is also 14-2 in the last 16 meetings in New Orleans and 24-5 in the last 29 meetings overall.

Spurs at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 117, Spurs 110

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Pelicans being heavily favored. While New Orleans is expected to win, Williamson is out and the Pelicans have lost 4 games in a row, so taking them straight up at the current odds isn’t advised.

Against the spread

SPURS +7.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this game despite taking the Pelicans to win. New Orleans won’t have Williamson or Ingram, so it might be tough for the Pelicans to cruise to a 8-plus-point win over the Spurs.

The Spurs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a win by 10-plus points and 7-0 ATS in the last 7 road meetings against the Pelicans. Meanwhile, the Pelicans are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games.

Over/Under

Considering that both of these teams are top 12 in pace, OVER 227.5 (-115) is an enticing wager in this game. Even though both teams are shorthanded, there should be a decent amount of scoring on Thursday night.

The Spurs are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 games following an ATS win and 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games overall. The Pelicans have hit the Over in each of their last 5 games following an ATS loss.

The Pelicans lost to the Jazz 121-100 Tuesday, failing to cover as 1.5-point road favorites. New Orleans was on a 7-game winning streak before the loss.

Pelicans at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 119, Jazz 114

Moneyline

Even though New Orleans wasn’t able to take care of business on the road against Utah Tuesday, I’m taking the PELICANS (-115) to secure the victory Thursday. I expect New Orleans to keep it more competitive than Tuesday’s contest and the Pelicans to bounce back with a win.

Against the spread

PELICANS -1.5 (-105) is an enticing wager in this game with how well New Orleans has played recently outside of Tuesday’s meeting with Utah. The Pelicans have the same odds as they did in Tuesday’s matchup and they should be able to deliver this time around.

The Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss and 5-1 ATS following 1 day of rest.

Over/Under

Considering that I envision New Orleans keeping it close with Utah after getting blown out Tuesday, OVER 231.5 (-115) is the ideal choice. Both of these teams are in the top 12 in pace while they are also in the top 6 in offensive rating this season.

Even though Tuesday’s showdown didn’t hit the Over, the Over has hit in 23 of the last 34 meetings between the Pelicans and the Jazz.

Pelicans at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 121, Jazz 114

Moneyline

Considering how both of these teams have been playing recently, PELICANS (-125) is an intriguing wager. Ingram isn’t available for New Orleans, but the team has won 7 consecutive games without him on the court.

Against the spread

PELICANS -1.5 (-110) is where I’m going in this game as I thought the spread would be higher in favor of New Orleans in this contest. F Zion Williamson has been lighting it up recently and the Jazz won’t be able to contain him Tuesday.

The Pelicans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Meanwhile, the Jazz are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 home games against a team with a winning road record.

Over/Under

Both of these teams are capable of scoring plenty of points, so OVER 233.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning. The Pelicans and the Jazz are both top-5 in offensive rating this season.

The Jazz have hit the Over in 11 of their last 12 games against a team with a winning record. The Over is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the Pelicans and the Jazz in Utah and the Over is 23-10 in the last 33 meetings overall.

Pelicans at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Pelicans 114

Moneyline

Even with the team’s recent struggles, I’ll take the GRIZZLIES (-130) at home on Friday. I’m expecting a special performance from G Ja Morant after he missed a couple of crucial free throws in the team’s loss to the Kings on Tuesday that would have sent the game to overtime.

Against the spread

Give me GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-110) as we only need Memphis to win by a 3-pointer to cover the spread. The absence of McCollum could be massive for the Pelicans as he’s been their best playmaker and leads the team with 6.1 assists per game.

While the Pelicans are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings against the Grizzlies, Memphis is 14-3 ATS in its last 17 home games against a team with a winning road record.

Over/Under

OVER 228.5 (-115) is an intriguing wager despite McCollum being ruled out. New Orleans still has a dynamic duo in G Brandon Ingram and F Zion Williamson who can score points in bunches.

The Over has hit in 3 of the last 4 meetings between the Pelicans and the Grizzlies.

Grizzlies at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 118, Pelicans 115

Moneyline

I’ll take GRIZZLIES (+125) on the road as Morant is expected to return to the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s game against the Wizards. Memphis has won their last 3 matchups with the Pelicans.

Against the spread

Being that I took Memphis to win outright, I’ll also take GRIZZLIES +3.5 (-110). Even with Bane expected to be sidelined, there’s a chance Jackson makes his season debut and Memphis has a deep roster.

While the Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 road meetings with the Pelicans, New Orleans is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games following a win.

Over/Under

OVER 220.5 (-110) is a fun wager in this game as there should be plenty of scoring from both teams. The Grizzlies and the Pelicans are in the top 11 in offensive rating this season.

The Over is 6-1 in the last 7 games following a win for New Orleans and it’s 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans.

Dallas Mavericks at New Orleans Pelicans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Dallas Mavericks at New Orleans Pelicans odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dallas Mavericks (1-1) square off against the New Orleans Pelicans (2-1) Tuesday at Smoothie King Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Pelicans odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Mavericks bounced back in a big way following a season-opening loss by taking down the Memphis Grizzlies 137-96 Saturday, covering as 5.5-point home favorites.

It has been the G Luka Doncic and C Christian Wood show to begin the season for Dallas as they’re both averaging 25 or more points and 8 or more rebounds per game.

The Pelicans lost their 1st game of the season Sunday to the Utah Jazz 122-121 in overtime as they failed to cover as 8.5-point favorites at home. G CJ McCollum is leading the way for New Orleans with 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game on 48.3% shooting from the field.

Mavericks at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 114, Pelicans 107

Moneyline

AVOID the moneyline in this game with the Mavericks being favored on the road to beat a potentially shorthanded Pelicans squad. The odds aren’t worth taking Dallas straight up as you’ll receive little in return if the Mavericks escape with a victory.

Against the spread

The Pelicans will already be without Ingram Tuesday and there’s a chance that Jones and Williamson are also sidelined. With the uncertainty surrounding some of New Orleans’ starters, give me MAVERICKS -4.5 (-112).

Dallas is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 road meetings against New Orleans and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings overall.

Over/Under

Even with the injuries to New Orleans, OVER 219.5 (-112) is an enticing wager in this game. The Mavericks are the No. 1 team in offensive rating while the Pelicans are the No. 3 team in offensive rating to begin the season.

The Mavericks have hit the Over in 7 of their last 8 games against a team with a winning record while the Pelicans have hit the Over in each of their last 4 games. The Over is also 11-4 in the last 15 meetings between these teams in New Orleans.

Analyzing Saturday’s New Orleans Pelicans at Brooklyn Nets and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

NOLA has won three of its last four games (4-0 ATS) including two straight at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-125 Tuesday and the Los Angeles Clippers 113-89 Thursday.

The Pelicans are 3-4 straight-up (SU), 4-3 ATS and 3-4 O/U with the 17th-ranked adjusted net rating at a minus-2.1 and the 11th-best ATS margin at plus-1.9 over the last two weeks, according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

Brooklyn has seesawed between winning and losing over the last seven games (3-4 SU and 1-6 ATS), losing at home to the Oklahoma City Thunder 130-109 in its latest outing.

The Nets have the 18th-ranked adjusted net rating at a minus-2.6 and the second-worst ATS margin at minus-9.9 over the last 14 days.

The Nets beat the Pelicans 120-112 in New Orleans but failed to cover as 9-point road favorites. The Pelicans were missing leading scorer SF Brandon Ingram, who averages 22.9 points per game, in the first meeting.

Pelicans at Nets odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 113, Pelicans 109

Money line

PASS with a heavy “lean” towards the Pelicans (+205) because I’m taking NOLA plus the points and generally will sprinkle on an underdog’s money line when betting them to cover the spread.

However, F Kevin Durant is going to be out there Saturday and that’s reason enough to stay away from the Pelicans here. The Nets are just 11-11 at home this season, but the Pelicans are just 4-13 as a road underdog.

Against the spread

BET the PELICANS +6.5 (-115) because I think the Nets aren’t profitable at home, the Pelicans have already been bet by sharp money and NOLA has a strength-on-weakness edge on the glass.

Brooklyn is just 4-17-1 ATS at home with a minus-7.8 ATS margin, 2-6 ATS versus teams with a losing record and 2-6 ATS when laying 5-7 points.

This makes sense because what do the Nets have to prove in the regular season? Also, Kyrie’s part-time, road-game-only schedule lowers Brooklyn’s basketball ceiling and the Nets have a weak home crowd.

The Pelicans are fourth in offensive rebounding rate and fifth in second-chance points per game (PPG). Whereas the Nets are 22nd in defensive rebounding rate and 20th in second-chance PPG allowed.

Lastly, New Orleans was a 7.5-point underdog on the world opener before being steamed down to the current price. However, I still think there’s value in the PELICANS +6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET the UNDER 230.5 (-112) because this number is way too high. The Pelicans are 5-12 O/U as road underdogs, the Nets are 8-13 O/U as home favorites and both teams score fewer PPG in their respective location splits.

Brooklyn’s defense has also been more reliable than its offense this season and NOLA ranks 20th in pace. Both KD and G James Harden love to play half-court basketball so they’ll be okay with a slower-paced game.

There are a ton of Over-friendly trends in this matchup and the total has already been steamed up from the 228.5-point opener. But, I disagreed with the opening Pelicans-Nets total and this is a good spot to fade the trends.

The UNDER 230.5 (-112) for 1 unit is my favorite wager in this game.

Los Angeles Clippers at New Orleans Pelicans odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Clippers at New Orleans Pelicans and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New Orleans Pelicans (15-26) host the Los Angeles Clippers (21-21) Thursday at the Smoothie King Center for an 8 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we look at the Clippers vs. Pelicans odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

L.A. (+2.5) upset the Denver Nuggets 87-85 at home Tuesday for its second consecutive victory.

Over the past two weeks, the Clippers are 3-4 straight-up (SU), 3-4 ATS and 4-3 O/U with the 23rd-ranked non-garbage time net rating at minus-6.6 and the 14th-best ATS margin at minus-0.2, according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG).

NOLA (+3.5) also won as a home underdog its last time out, 128-125, versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Pelicans’ wing Brandon Ingram hit a game-winning 3-pointers at the end of regulation to key the victory.

In the last 14 days, NOLA is 2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS and 3-3 O/U with the 22nd-ranked non-garbage time net rating at minus-6.2 and the 18th-ranked ATS margin at minus-1.1, per CTG.

The Pelicans have won four straight versus the Clippers, including both meetings this season and covered their last five head-to-head games.

Clippers at Pelicans odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 113, Clippers 104

Money line

PASS with a heavy “lean” towards the Pelicans (-165) because I’m confident enough in NOLA that I’d rather just lay the points.

However, there’s still value in the Pelicans outright, and I wouldn’t hate betting NOLA’s money line here.

Against the spread

BET the PELICANS -3.5 (-115) because this is a good sell-high spot for the Clippers +3.5 (-107) and NOLA’s has L.A.’s number in recent meetings.

The Clippers’ double-digit comeback victory over the Nuggets had a lot more to do with Denver choking than it did L.A. playing well.

Furthermore, L.A. has struggled to cover in two straight games. The Clippers are 3-13 ATS in their last 13 games following a cover.

Also, NOLA has a strength-on-weakness edge in the rebounding department.

For instance, the Pelicans are fourth in offensive rebounding rate and score the fifth-most second-chance points per game (PPG).

Whereas the Clippers have the worst defensive rebounding rate and are 21st in second-chance points allowed per game.

On top of that, NOLA big Jonas Valančiūnas has owned L.A. big Ivica Zubac in their nine career head-to-head games.

Valančiūnas is outscoring Zubac 18.9-7.1 PPG and outrebounding him 11.6-6.9 boards per game in those meetings.

Plus Valančiūnas dominated Zubac in the first two Clippers-Pelicans games this season. Valančiūnas outscored Zubac 65-12 and outrebounded him 28-15 in those contests.

BET the PELICANS -3.5 (-115) for 1 unit.

Over/Under

PASS with a slight “lean” to the Over 214.5 (-108) because there has been too much line movement from the opening total (218), and my instinct is to fade said line movement.

That said, the Clippers are 18-24 O/U, the Pelicans are 18-22-1 O/U and I don’t have a strong enough graph on this total to take a stand. Also, my predicted score isn’t that much different than the projected total.
