Pelicans vs. Warriors, 8:30 p.m. ET

Pick ATS: Pelicans -2

Pelicans rank 12th in the league in scoring offense, averaging 115.8 points per game, and ninth in rebounding with 52.7 boards a night. Their defense has also been solid this year, falling at 10th in the league as they allow 111.6 points per game. The Warriors’ stats are even better — they rank 10th in scoring with 117.1 points per game, and fifth in rebounding with 54.9 points per game. However, the Warriors have limped through this season and will be missing several key players in this matchup. On the other hand, the Pelicans have been dominating lately and have won five of their last six games. New Orleans should cover on the road, even if Williamson doesn’t suit up.

Over/Under: Over 234

Earlier this season, these two teams met and the Warriors won 130-102. Since then, the Pelicans’ offense has stepped things up a few notches, scoring 133 points in their latest game. While the Warriors are missing a few of their biggest scoring weapons, they still rank in the top 10 in points per game. Go ahead and ride with the over on this one.
