After a brief break over Christmas, I'm back with my NBA best bets column. New Year's Eve brings us a lot of teams on the second leg of a back-to-back. The New Orleans Pelicans are a part of one of the plays for Saturday's action. I have a plus money player prop to ride one the hottest hands in the NBA at the moment (Predictions for Luka Doncic, Clippers-Pacers).

Los Angeles Clippers are -3 vs. Indiana Pacers. New Orleans Pelicans-Memphis Grizzlies is over 233. Luka Doncic is going to record a triple double.

Luka Doncic has put up back-to-back triple-doubles for the Dallas Mavericks. He's got a shot to put one up against the San Antonio Spurs, who are last in the NBA in defensive and net rating. The Spurs allow the most assists per game in NBA. Dallas has struggled against spread as a road favorite this season. Luka has at least a double-double in four of his last five games.
