Advice and prediction
It’s hard to make a compelling case to bet on the Pelicans. The only two wins New Orleans has in January came on Jan. 2 and then on the road trip against a defense on pace to be one of the worst all-time in league history.
That they are favorites in any game is surprising. Until the Pelicans can prove they can win, bet against them moving forward and take Spurs +3.5 tonight.
Prediction: San Antonio 110, New Orleans 104
