Pelicans at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Pelicans 119, Raptors 107
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Pelicans (-450), who are 18-13 on the road, to beat a banged up Raptors team that is 13-18 at home.
Against the spread
BET PELICANS -9.5 (-105).
The Pelicans are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 road games while playing as favorites and are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 overall. They have a 33-27-1 ATS record this season.
The Raptors are 29-32 ATS this season and 0-3 ATS in their last 3 games along with 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. Dealing with injuries, including Barnes, Toronto will not have the manpower to keep up with a strong Pelicans squad.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 228.5 (-110).
The Pelicans and the Raptors have each hit the Under 7 times in their last 10 overall. New Orleans has hit the Under in 5 straight and has held opponents to 114 or fewer points in 7 of its last 9 while scoring 115 or fewer in 6 of their last 9.
Toronto has hit the Under in back-to-back games and in 6 of their last 8 at home. They have scored 111 or fewer in 5 of their last 10.
