Advice and prediction
The betting angle here is pretty simple. New Orleans already beat Toronto once this season, on the road, by double digits. That they are the underdog is a bit wild, even if the Pelicans have struggled at times on national television this season.
It’s virtually the same odds to take the moneyline or the spread. Because of the odds, taking the Pelicans +105 is a fine bet.
Prediction: New Orleans 107, Toronto 98
