Advice and prediction
New Orleans is riding high after Monday’s win over Utah and will look to finish the season strongly with a back-to-back on the final two days ahead of the break.
Chicago, though, is a team that recently beat the Pelicans behind a huge night from LaVine and a lights-out 3-point shooting performance. The argument could be made it would be hard for LaVine to replicate his 25-of-47 shooting performance again.
Even if the Pelicans haven’t shown much consistency, it feels as if they’re turning a corner. Take New Orleans -5.5 and watch Zion Williamson feast.
Prediction: Pelicans 118, Bulls 110
