Pelicans at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 118, 76ers 110

Moneyline

PASS.

New Orleans (-290) should pick up the win, especially given all of Philadelphia’s injuries, but the Pelicans are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET PELICANS -7.5 (-110).

The Pelicans have covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games and are 34-27-1 ATS this season. Philly is only 3-7 ATS in its last 10.

New Orleans is also 3-1 ATS in its last 4 matchups with the Sixers, being 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 224.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Philadelphia and is 3-1 in Philly’s last 4 games. The Over is also 34-27-1 for the Sixers this season. The Over has also hit in 4 consecutive Pelicans-Sixers meetings and in 6 of their last 10 meetings.

This is only a lean because the Under is 7-3 in New Orleans’ last 10 and is 34-28 for the Pelicans this season.

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).

New Orleans Pelicans at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s New Orleans Pelicans at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New Orleans Pelicans (18-28) travel to Wells Fargo Center Tuesday to take on the Philadelphia 76ers (27-19). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Pelicans vs. 76ers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Pelicans come into this battle off a 117-113 victory the Indiana Pacers Monday as 4-point favorites. They’ve covered the spread in five of their last eight games. New Orleans’ weakness has been on the road where it’s just 7-17 straight-up.

Last season the 76ers were among the most dominant home teams, but this year they’ve struggled at Wells Fargo Center. Philadelphia is 10-10 on its home court but is 17-9 on the road.

The Sixers are 23-22-1 against the spread (ATS) but have covered in seven of their last 10 games, four of which they were at least 8.5-point favorites.

Pelicans at 76ers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 114, Pelicans 108

Money line

PASS on the money line.

No regular-season NBA favorite is worth playing at -400. Betting on the Pelicans to pull off a road upset at +320 doesn’t have much value either considering how the Sixers have won six of the last seven meetings in this matchup.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the PELICANS +7.5 (-102).

While I wouldn’t sprinkle any on the money line in this situation, I do like the Pelicans.

They rank in the top five in offensive rebounding rate while the Sixers sit 21st in defensive rebounding. The Sixers are also down a key scorer and premier wing defender and Thybulle’s potential absence could be huge as well.

The Pelicans rank second in opponents’ second-chance points and ninth in opponents’ points in the paint.

Considering C Joel Embiid, who is averaging 43 points per game, will be met by the brick wall of C Jonas Valančiūnas, I expect this to be a close game.

Over/Under

BET on the OVER 215.5 (-110).

The Sixers rank top five in turnover rate and 11th in true shooting percentage. The Sixers should increase their pace with key scorers like F Georges Niang ready to step up for the more defensive-minded Green.

They’ve played at a faster pace over their last five games and without Curry or Green, I expect their defense to take a hit more than their offense. With that in mind, I’ll take the Over here.

New Orleans Pelicans at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s New Orleans Pelicans at Philadelphia 76ers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New Orleans Pelicans (30-36) travels to the “City of Brotherly Love” Friday to play the Philadelphia 76ers (45-21) at Wells Fargo Center. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Pelicans-76ers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The 11th-place Pelicans just split a pivotal two-game miniseries with one of the teams they are chasing for a play-in spot in the 9-seed Golden State Warriors.

NOLA beat Golden State in the second of the back-to-back and have won three of the past four games and is 5-1 against the spread in the previous six games.

Philly has won six in a row (5-1 ATS) to jump atop the Eastern Conference standings, 2.5 games in front of the second-place Brooklyn Nets.

The Pelicans snapped a four-game losing skid to the Sixers by beating them in their first meeting this season 101-94 (April 9) and are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games against Philly.

Pelicans at 76ers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

76ers 124, Pelicans 109

Money line (ML)

PASS even though I’m confident Philly wins this one comfortably because the 76ers (-400) is too steep of a price for any NBA regular-season favorite this year.

Even tanking teams beat opponents they are heavy underdogs against, and NOLA at least has something to play for.

Against the spread (ATS)

Wait until as close to tip-off for the final injury statuses of both teams before making a wager because if Adams misses tonight’s game then I’d BET the 76ERS -8.5 (-110) for 1 unit, but if Adams plays it’s more of a “lean”.

The Pelicans upset a fully loaded Sixers team earlier this season as 5.5-point home dogs without Ingram in the lineup mostly because Adams was able to reduce the damage done by All-Star big Joel Embiid.

Embiid physically overwhelms almost every center in the league aside from Adams. In fact, Adams averages more rebounds per game than Embiid in their seven head-to-head meetings, and Embiid only scored 14 points on 5-for-16 shooting with just 9 rebounds in the first Pelicans-76ers game this year.

Another factor for me in this matchup is the Sixers are almost impossible to beat if their 3-point shooters are knocking down shots and with no Adams on the floor Embiid is going to collapse NOLA’s perimeter defense.

There’s a good chance the Pelicans’ 3-point defense, which ranks 27th in the league, would hold up against the Sixers if they were fully healthy, but without Adams, I really like Philly’s chances to create margin in this game.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS with a slight “lean” to the Over 229.5 (-110) since I really like Philly’s chances of scoring in the mid-120s, but without Ingram on the floor, it’s tough to see who else on the Pelicans scores aside from Zion Williamson.
