Pelicans at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 115, Pelicans 110
Moneyline
The Pelicans have been bad on the road. They are 14-24 away from home and that is after winning 3 in a row. The Warriors lost only for the 8th time all season at home on Sunday and are 30-8 at home on the season.
The home time has won all 3 previous meetings between the Pelicans and Warriors this season.
Golden State should win this game, but the line isn’t worth the action, as you would have wager more than 3 1/2 times what you can win.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Pelicans have covered the spread in 5 straight games and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10.
The Warriors are 2-1 ATS against the Pelicans this season. They are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games.
I think the Warriors win but with both teams fighting for playoff seeding, it will be a battle so expect a close game.
BET PELICANS +8.5 (-112).
Over/Under
None of the 3 games between the 2 teams has reached 220 points. Only 2 of the Pelicans’ last 10 games have had totals higher than Tuesday’s projection while only 1 of the Warriors’ last 4 games has had more points this total.
BET UNDER 234.5 (-105).
