New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
Pelicans Won Their Last 6 Against Teams Under .500
New Orleans is 4-6 in their last 10 games, but coming off of a 110-99 win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. When it’s New Orleans Pelicans game time against teams under .500, the team usually takes care of business – they’ve won six in a row against teams under .500. New Orleans is also a decent team on the road with a record of 13-11. They’re record against the spread (ATS) on the road is 13-10-1.
The New Orleans Pelicans are better than the Spurs in almost all NBA team stats, including PPG (116.5), team field goal percentage (48.7), three-point percentage (37.9), rebounds (44.6), and defensive rating (114.8). Zion Williamson, the team’s leader in NBA player stats with 22.0 PPG, has shot over 50 percent from the field in seven of his last eight games but is questionable for the Pelicans vs. Spurs odds with a foot injury.
Larry Nance and Herbert Jones are also game-time decisions for the Pelicans.
Spurs Looking at Another High Lottery Pick
While expectations were higher than last season with the addition of first-overall pick Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs haven’t really shown much improvement this season. Wembanyama, however, is the leading candidate to win the Rookie of the Year and has looked fairly consistent throughout the NBA schedule. He is leading the team in scoring with 20.6 PPG, while also averaging 10.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists. He has scored at least 20 points in 10 consecutive games.
San Antonio is T23rd in PPG (112.6) and 24th in defensive rating (119.3). They’re just 5-19 on the home court this season and 3-7 in their last 10 games. They’ve averaged just 105.75 PPG in their last four contests. The San Antonio Spurs are 23-25 ATS at home with an over-under record of 15-9.
San Antonio Spurs injuries for the Pelicans vs. Spurs odds include Keldon Johnson, Zach Collins, and Charles Bassey. Johnson and Collins are game-time decisions. Bassey is out for the season after injuring his knee against the Pelicans on December 1.
New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs Betting Picks
The Pelicans have taken care of business against weaker teams this season and they should beat the Spurs, but 8.5 points is a lot to cover, especially if Williamson is out of the lineup. The over is another betting option with solid value as the Pelicans’ road over-under record is 12-12 and the Spurs’ home over-under record is 15-9.
- Pick 1: +8.5 Spurs (-115)
- Pick 2: Over 234.5 (-110)
