Advice and prediction
The Pelicans have been a Jekyll and Hyde team early in the season with their performances correlating with their appearances on national television. In that respect, Thursday’s game not being on national television will serve as a positive for New Orleans.
New Orleans has struggled to shoot with any consistency this season. After going 19-for-42 (45.2%) from 3 in the first game, the Pelicans have shot 18-for-83 (21.6%) in the three games since.
It’s still hard to get a feel on the Pelicans early in the season, but this feels like a game they should win. While taking the Pelicans moneyline makes sense, Pelicans -5.5 feels like the best value bet.
