Best Bets for this Game

Insiders Status:

The Pelicans are averaging 116.4 points per game and 115.7 points per game on the road. They averaged 114 points per game in their last three games against the Hawks. They play at a quick pace, averaging 101.9 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 97.7 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to be held under their average in this game. The Hawks are averaging 119.9 points per game and 123.2 points per game at home. They averaged 118 points per game in their last three games against the Pelicans. They play at a faster pace, averaging 105 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 98.3 points per game in their last three games, so don’t expect them to score enough points to push the score over the total. The Hawks and Pelicans played under the total in five of their last six meetings.
