Preview:
There’s nothing more than bragging rights on the line between these two cellar dwellers, but that doesn’t mean this game isn’t worth betting on.
The Pelicans have rediscovered some of their mojo with seven wins from their last 10-games – all in time for Zion Williamson to return and maybe even make a playoff push.
The Knicks, on the other hand, have lost four straight games and sit second from the bottom in the East. That said, the trends, as well as the injury report, suggest there is money to be made on New York.
New Orleans will go without their second-leading points scorer Jrue Holiday for this game due to an elbow strain. That leaves Brandon Ingram in charge of scoring, who is also nursing a less severe injury of his own.
Read into this what you will, but the Pelicans have been a rough betting play on Friday nights over the last two seasons. New Orleans has covered in only two of their 18 games on Friday night, while the Knicks are 5-2 in their last seven.
The Knicks have faced a rough schedule of late losing their last three games to the Clippers, Lakers and Jazz. This matchup is more on their level though, making the +5.5 about New York look well over the odds with home-court advantage.
Odds:
Tip: New Orleans Pelicans at $1.51
